Description:
------------
I am experiencing the problem reported in bug 31247, 
which was marked as bogus. The decision was that the 
user's compiler was broken. I challenge this decision, 
as I see the problem with the (php.net-endorsed) 
precompiled Mac OS X version of PHP 5.0.3 (release 1) 
from www.entropy.ch and also with PHP 4.3.10 installed 
on a Gentoo server. I don't think all of these 
compilers are broken. I don't see the problem with 
Entropy PHP 4.3.9 (release 2) nor with 4.3.9 on a 
different Gentoo server.

I wonder whether the problem really relates to the 
break-statement-within-the-braces notation, because this 
notation is already present in PHP 4.3.9 which does not 
exhibit the problem. Regardless, I consider braces 
around cases within a switch to be poor form, and 
encourage developers I work with to not use it, as it 
gives the false impression to the uninitiated (which is 
often the person writing the code) that closing the 
brace closes the case (which of course it doesn't; the 
break actually does that).

Reproduce code:
---------------
php -r "print_r(unpack('H*hex', 'data'));"

Expected result:
----------------
Array
(
    [hex] => 64617461
)

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: unpack(): Type H: outside of string in Command 
line code on line 1
Array
(
    [hex] => 64617461
)
