We could have made a routine to adjust the layout of the monitor table
given the old and new modes, but it would have to understand two modes
at once, which nothing else in multi.c does. It would also reproduce
code that's already in sh_make_monitor_table and sh_destroy_monitor_table.
Since we don't expect it to be worth optimizing this path, we just used
the existing routines.
Cheers,
Tim.
