Which is fine, but in my experience flaws like this are often introduced via automated merges that could as easily have resulted in:

  if (...) {
    goto fail;
  }
  if (...) {
    goto fail;
  }
    goto fail;
  if (...) {
    goto fail;
  }

which produces the same bug. (Everyone's been shouting about "braces in single statement if clauses" as though they're an absolute fix; they're not, although they're a good idea in general. And yes, code review, better merge tools, yada yada.)
