Of course not, but the point is that
- the "end if" was *not* at the wrong place, probably because it would
have (or had) pooped to the eye very quickly
- in the C code, two people read and re-read and did not notice
anything wrong; the bug was detected only by examining results closely
This on only ~15 lines...
