Hi all,

I just fiddled around with using GBDE for ISO images (it works) and
stumbled across the need to "guess" the size required for the GBDE
container.

Looks like the size is not increasing linearly. Here are the numbers of
512 byte blocks available in md0 and md0.bde
  md0 | md0.bde | diff.
 2048    1952       96
 4096    3936      160
 8192    7936      256
16384   15872      512
32768   31744     1024
65536   63520     2016

So, what's the correct formula?
