Codecs call ff_find_unused_picture() to get the index of an unused picture; said picture may have buffers left from using it previously (these buffers are intentionally not unreferenced so that it might be possible to reuse them; this is mpegvideo's version of a bufferpool). They should not make any assumptions about which picture they get. Yet somehow this is not true when decoding OBMC: Returning random empty pictures (instead of the first one) leads to nondeterministic results; similarly, explicitly rezeroing the buffer before handing it over to the codec changes the outcome of the h263-obmc tests, but it makes it independent of the returned pictures. Therefore this commit does so.
(No, this commit is not intended to be applied. I just hope to arouse the interest of people familiar with H.263 to look at this issue.)
