Thanks for reporting this bug. You fixed it the right way. Most ANSI C
compilers don't support declading variables after the first non variable
declaration statement in a block.

Not sure if ANSI C 99 relaxed this and does allow what I had written,
but for sure it's better to declare the variable at the begin of the
block.
