Hi!

Yes, variables in local blocks in combination with jumps are broken. Here is
another piece of code that doesn't work:

    int foo = 1;
    while (foo) {
        int bar = 1;
        if (bar) {
            goto faz;
        }
    }
faz: ;

This has been broken since ages (version 2.4 or similar) and no one has
complained so I almost forgot about it:-)

The compiler can be fixed for the code shown above with not too much effort.
But the code you posted is a different thing, because it would be required to
move allocation of variables to the top of the function, and this doesn't
really fit into the compiler as it is now. Maybe I can at least make this an
error ..

Thanks for the report!
