Base256ToNum: Fix uninitialized value
If the inner Base256ToNum() returned false, it did not set
Num to a new value, causing it to be uninitialized, and thus
might have caused the function to exit despite a good result.
Also document why the Res = Num, if (Res != Num) magic is done.
Reported-By: valgrind
