Hi Stephen,

Thanks for your work!

This error occurs because only a statement is allowed after a label,
but a definition is not a statement in C99.
This can be fixed by wrapping the case block with curly braces like this:
case 208: {
...
}

However I don't know why my compiler did not report this error. I was
using gcc 11.1.0 under Arch Linux.

Meng Dong
