Hi,

I'll be honest I'm lost on what the intent of this code actually is...

Gwendal - why do we have a loop with this odd switch statement
in it.  Superficially I think we might as well drop the switch
and pull those assignments out of the loop.   However, perhaps
I'm missing something!

Thanks,

Jonathan
