I am looking at the location where that error is being reported, and
it is in the middle of a 1200 line function, with so many nested loops
and if/thens that both emacs and jedit are unable to parse it properly
and match the curly brackets.
I haven't yet figured out why it compiles but two editors can't figure
out where the close curly bracket of the do { on line 340 of
transfer.c is (I can see it is on 1517, but my editor can't).

Functions shouldn't be this huge. So many of these loops and blocks of
code would read better as separate functions.
