Actually, I was writing HTTP a downloader and trying to make it embed
special-case logic for 1.1 chunks in a 1.0 loop
along the lines of
do {
	receive;
	if (isChunked) {
		if (chunkedDownloading) continue;
		break;
	}
} while (notReceivedEnough)

so I expected the continue to restart the loop, but it executed the
condition (which naturally failed abysmally, because I wasn't doing a
normal download :)

Doesn't matter, it works now.
