That was me.  I use that construct in C so infrequently that it
merges with my memories of the same construct in other languages
so I forget if it's

  do { .. } while();
  do { .. } until();
  repeat { .. } while();
or
  repeat { .. } until();

The name of this thread shows the problem.  Why is it
named "do...until" instead of "do...while" ?
