Description

We've been having some fun with gdal2tiles.py -p raster first not working, then working, then not working again. Then I find this page

https://github.com/commenthol/gdal2tiles-leaflet#basic-usage

which says that the zoom level must be >= log2(max(width, height)/tilesize).

To reproduce, take a png file of some known size and run

gdal2tiles.py -p raster -z 0-ZOOM file.png

where ZOOM is < log2(max(width, height)/tilesize). The tiles are produced, but with garbage content. I reproduced it at zoom level 4 with a PNG of size 4100x4100 (where 4095x4095 is working fine).

I would expect the script to either handle this case gracefully (upscaling) or at least die with a descriptive error.
