I think this is for the Emacs developers list, since trace.el is in
their tree.
My suggestions for the fix are above; I can write a patch if it's
necessary. Looks like trace.el:trace-make-advice() needs to be adjusted
to check the buffer size. It could set trace-inhibit but I think
trimming the buffer is a nicer solution for the user.
