Yes I know what you mean, but my question is if it's worth it to keep
track of? No memory is really lost, but we are doing a copy of tag map
and bitmap of course in addition to the extra allocation. Given that
you're not going to change depths 100 times per seconds, I don't think
it's worth it to actually do anything about it. Especially since you'll
quickly settle at the desired depth and stay there. But hey, I'm an
accomodating guy (pfft), so here's the change just for you :)

Oh yes you are right. How does the attached look? With real_max_depth,
that should work as well since we'll only ever alloc a bigger area.
