 Summary of the bug:
 How to reproduce:
 {{{

 ffmpeg -i /tmp/test.y4m -f h261 -vb 256k -cmp rd /tmp/test.h261

 ffmpeg version N-58246-g7d0e927 Copyright (c) 2000-2013 the FFmpeg
 developers
   built on Nov 18 2013 17:15:01 with gcc 4.8 (Ubuntu/Linaro
 4.8.1-10ubuntu8)
 }}}

 Test sequence used is
 http://media.xiph.org/video/derf/y4m/sign_irene_cif.y4m

 Bitrate of the file is very much inflated by specifying the -cmp rd
 option, yet picture quality is severely affected by blockyness. Apparently
 the encoder is forced into aggressive quantization.

 Attached picture shows one representative frame of video output.
