This looks ok (ignoring the crash reported), so feel free to add:

It might be worth explicitly mentioning that we try to keep total mag 
size as power-of-2

Out of curiosity, do you know why we take the approach (prior to this 
change) to free the loaded mag and alloc a new empty mag? Why not 
instead just say that we can't insert and bail out?
