Anoying problem, but what else can be done?

Ouch!

BTW I'm working on a program that uses a bunch of this kind of stuff so they 
are real concerns. (Code forthcoming <g>)

OTOH it still has to use the case trick because it needs to do a "goto case 
n;" for a non const n, (this doesn't work so I have to wrap the switch in 
a while(true) and fall out the bottom). Now I'm wishing for label variables 
like in C++ under gcc:

void* to = forever ? loop : dont;
loop: goto to;
dont:;
