Using DMD 0.100, Windows 98SE.

I've just noticed that SwitchError's giving me the same troubles as AssertError was before 0.89.  Same bug, same basic fix.

BTW, while debugging this fix I discovered that the eccentric 'length' syntactic sugar of 0.99 has broken a bit of the Phobos code, at least in ArrayBoundsError.

(I thought about using std.string.format, but then realised that if that one day throws a SwitchError halfway between versions then it'll recurse forever....)

Also corrected the left over comment....

class SwitchError : Error
{
    private
    {
        uint linnum;
        char[] filename;

        this(char[] filename, uint linnum)
        {
            this.linnum = linnum;
            this.filename = filename;

            char[] buffer
              = new char[17 + filename.length + linnum.sizeof * 3 + 1];
            int count = sprintf(buffer, "Switch Default %.*s(%u)",
                filename, linnum);

            super(buffer[0..count]);
        }
    }
}
