Please explain why this is needed. The comment immediately above these
assignments clearly states that they are initializing pointers in case an
error occurs; the depth members are not involved in this.

The English needs improving, but the more serious issue is that passing pis
rather than NULL will definitely produce incorrect behavior if the imager
state has non-default values for the logical op, and perhaps for other
members as well. What goes wrong when passing NULL?
