> If you missed it the 35th and 36th occurance of goto fail that really does go directly to fail

Whoa, that was entirely unclear from the submission that this was the point. But then, I guess I still don't see what is the point. Why post this here and not file a bug or something?

Not obvious is it. It's only ssl so it's not like it's important. The non-obviousness of it and the spectacularness of the goto fail is, well, in my view, the whole point. C should not still suck this bad. One line un-braced blocks are a standard bug. Why no fixy? Why? What do we have to do?
