Better yet, the integer truncation error should be compensated for, with 
this:

    max_size =
        (trg_entry->delta_size * max_depth + max_depth - trg_entry->depth) /
                    (max_depth - trg_entry->depth + 1);

Yep, with this, my degenerate case seems to find the optimum solution
(depth ~ 65) even at crazy maximum depths like 1000.

Looks good to me.

Great.

Now to conclude this, I have a patch with much simpler math which I'll 
post rsn.
