>Description:
Code error in switch statement (unclosed bracket resulting in default: label being inside another) later caused an internal compiler error. The error only occurred when a line above the error opened a filestream for input. 

The following code demonstrates the error:

//start code
#include <fstream>
using std::ifstream;

void cache_update(int act)
 {
    switch(act)
      {
      case 3:
	{
	  ifstream input(".listing");
	  int i=0;
	  while(++i<4)
	    {
	      bool found;
	      if (!found)
		{
		}
	      break;
	    }
	default:
	  {
	  }
	}
      }
    void createEmptyCache()
      {
      }
>How-To-Repeat:
save the code above into a file, say error.cpp

type gcc error.cpp

don't make coding errors
