You might be right, Nate. But I forgot to fix it up when I ported
the code from NetBSD's one. Also I like a lot the style as Mr. Adam Wight
pointed out because It is preventible from missing { and } when few more
lines are needed in the block afterward.
Thank you Adam and Nate, I'll fix it soon if there is no objections.
