Currently, if
(a) There is a "---" divider in a commit message,
(b) At some point beyond that divider, there is a cut-line (that is,
"# ------------------------ >8 ------------------------") in the
commit message,
(c) the user does not explicitly set the "no-divider" option,
then "git interpret-trailers" will hang indefinitively.
This is because when (a) is true, find_end_of_log_message() will invoke
ignored_log_message_bytes() with a len that is intended to make it
ignore the part of the commit message beyond the divider. However,
ignored_log_message_bytes() calls wt_status_locate_end(), and that
function ignores the length restriction when it tries to locate the cut
line. If it manages to find one, the returned cutoff value is greater
than len. At this point, ignored_log_message_bytes() goes into an
infinite loop, because it won't advance the string parsing beyond len,
but the exit condition expects to reach cutoff.
It seems sensible to expect that wt_status_locate_end() should honour
the length parameter passed in, and doing so fixes this issue.

Side remark: Since strstr() doesn't consider len, and will always search
up to a null byte, I now wonder whether it would be safer to create a
new strbuf that only contains the len bytes we want to operate on. If
anybody ever thinks they can pass a non-null-terminated string into
wt_status_locate_end() because they already provide a len parameter,
they will not have a good time. So it's that traded off against the
slightly higher overhead of creating yet another buffer and copying a
potentially large-ish commit message around.
