The current initialization of the 'equals' counter is incorrect, so that
when 'equals >= SSZ * SSZ', the pixels in the sample array might not be
all the same, leading to a wrong pixel value being set in the
framebuffer.
The 'equals' counter stores the number of latest pixels that were
exactly equal. Within the for loop of 'ox', the sample array is updated
in a column-based order, and the 'equals' counter is updated
accordingly. However, the 'equals' counter is initialized in a row-based
order, which causes it to be set too large than it should be. Consider
the example where sample[sx][sy] are initially:
[X X X A A A] // sy = 0
[X X X B B B]
[X X X B B B]
[X X X B B B]
[X X X B B B]
[X X X B B B] // sy = SSZ
Then, the correct implementation will initialize 'equals' to be 15, with
last_equal being B. Suppose all of the remaining pixels are B. Then, at
the end of the 'while (fpfloor(ixfp) > ix)' loop when ix = 4, or
equivalently after 4 more columns of sample are updated, 'equals' will
be 15 + 6 * 4 = 39, which is greater than SSZ * SSZ = 36, but we can see
there are still 2 A's in the sample:
[B B B B A A]
[B B B B B B]
[B B B B B B]
[B B B B B B]
[B B B B B B]
[B B B B B B]
Therefore, we must also initialize the 'equals' counter in a
column-based order.
