OK - thanks.  If you can confirm that support for this behaviour is no 
longer needed then I will be happy to go with the simpler patch.  (Or 
maybe the simpler one + an error message if the preceding label cannot 
be found).  I just did not want to break anybody's builds because of a 
speed optimization,

Cheers
