If I run the "next" again, the instruction will go forward the closing bracket of the main function body.

Hi, all. It looks like some one has report a similar bug on:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=49951

and it has caused by the revision:

http://gcc.gnu.org/viewcvs?root=gcc&view=rev&rev=149722

Any GCC developer can have look at it?

Thanks.
