issue #695 MQ Encode: ensure that bp pointer never points to uninitialized memory

[boxerab]

fixes #695

[boxerab]

This has to fix the uninitialized memory issue. What I find surprising is that such a critical bug has existed for so long ( > 5 years )

@boxerab, Unfortunately, this doesn't help: http://my.cdash.org/viewDynamicAnalysisFile.php?id=3438342

[boxerab]

The patch fixes a definite bug: there may be other similar bugs in the MQ coder that continue causing a valgrind error.

@boxerab @mayeut does this fix #612 ?

I'm currently looking into refreshing the dashboard submissions from CS, which are currently only noise since the GitHub migration, because they are still looking for updates from svn :)

Seeing all the work achieve with Travis, I will remove most of them, but try to setup again the valgrind build where we should see the effect of this patch.

Unfortunately, I don't have time to look into this at the moment.
