Stumbled into this today:

	http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=9068

A workaround is to put the loop in its own function and do a return instead of "break X". Or an uglier workaround is to use a boolean flag checked right after the switch statement.

In my case, I didn't have much to do after the foreach anyway, so the first workaround suffices. In any case, this is a rather ugly bug.

Other workarounds are to include the code that is supposed to be executed after the loop inside the conditional that was supposed to guard the break and then return instead, or to just use goto.

Yup.
