Don't we call remove_first_line() as long as leading is larger than
trailing repeatedly?  Is "at most once" accurate?

As to the correctness, I think nobody takes the address of an
element in the line[] array and expects the address to stay valid
across a call to remove_first_line(), so this should be safe.

Thanks.
