Actually, I don't know if it's a bug or a feature, but apparently in GPC when you use 'break' inside a case statement the execution jumps to the end of the case. In Borland Pascal executing break would exit the enclosing block. For example, in
while ... do begin ... case ... of ...: ... break; end; {case} end; {while}
when break is executed, the 'while' loop should be stopped. Of course, this is different from C. I have not found reference to this 'break' incompatibility in the GPC documentation, so I thought I should report it, just in case.
