Ah, right. Thanks.

Refining the test a bit to make sure the number of tabs before the
return and before the break are the same appears to show 42 instances.

$ grep-2.5.4 -rP --include=*.[ch] -n "^([\t]+)\breturn\s+\w+\s*\([^\)]+\)\s*;[ \t]*\n\1break\s*;\s*(case\s+\w+|default)\s*:" * | grep return | wc -l
42

(the line numbering seems screwed up below,
 but the instances listed seem right)

$ grep-2.5.4 -rP --include=*.[ch] -n "^([\t]+)\breturn\s+\w+\s*\([^\)]+\)\s*;[ \t]*\n\1break\s*;\s*(case\s+\w+|default)\s*:" * | grep return
