Today it is possible to create 0 byte sized images. Your patch will
change that:
If there is a backing file, then the size will be taken from the backing file.
If there is no backing file, then an error about missing size will be
printed, even though a size of 0 has been given.
I don't think 0 sized images are very useful, but I'm not sure we
should make this change.
