Does not work in one example

Hello.

I've found an example of data, when encode-decode round trip does not give the identical result. It consists of four bytes: 0x00, 0x00, 0x80, 0x40.

The patch to add this test case is:

diff --git a/tests/test.cpp b/tests/test.cpp

 }

 static void encode_decode_uint16()

The test program then produces this result:

> ./obj/test
check failed! (file tests/test.cpp, line 67): roundtrip( weird )

It was possible to fix this with the following change:

diff --git a/src/brle.h b/src/brle.h

     return output;

But I am not completely sure if this is a correct approach.

Its been a while but I've rewritten the encoder and decoder.
Your 'weird' test data now roundtrips.
The encoder will change/rewritten again in the future because I'm not satisfied about how it handles the input and output.
