Just to avoid misunderstanding: Of course the problem is solved as soon as the 
queue start/end is adjusted properly, because the uninitialized pointers 
aren't used any more.

But also the memset statement itself is errornous. Currently the code uses 
case 4, but it should use case 3. 

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
	struct struct Stest {
		int x1;
		int x2;
	} t[200];
	printf("case 1: Stest: %p\n", t);
	printf("case 2: &Stest[100]: %p\n", &t[100]);
	printf("case 3: Stest + 100: %p\n", t + 100);
	printf("case 4: Stest + 100 * sizeof(Stest): %p\n", t + 100 * sizeof(*t));
	printf("case 5: Stest + 800: %p\n", t + 800);
	return 0;
}
