No, the flush_put_bits already does that implicitly, that is not the
problem (on thinking again, this might actually be a bug
that causes too many bits to be written by the encoder).
The problem is that due to escaping sometimes only 7 bits are
read. So this means you might end up with exactly one bit left to write,
i.e. get_bits_count(&gb) == size * 8 - 1, which means you overread by 7
bits.
