How about this?

    "rot13-filter.pl" always writes "OUT <size>" to the debug log at the end
    of an interaction.

    This works without issues for the existing cases "abort", "error", and 
    "success". In a subsequent patch 'convert: add "status=delayed" to 
    filter process protocol' we will add a new case "delayed". In that case 
    we do not send the data right away and it would be wrong/misleading to
    the reader if we would write "OUT <size>" to the debug log.

    Address this issue by writing "OUT <size>" to the debug log only if 
    output is actually written in the successful case.
