[avr-gcc-list] Bug? with switch statement

[Hendrix, Jeff]

I'm compiling the code below with 2002-06-25 release from avrfreaks.
I was originally testing this code on a mega128, the I tried in in avr
studio with the same results. I also tried compiling it to an 8515 target
and still get the same results.
What's happening is the switch statement will only ever take the last case.
To simulate this, you need to turn on the high nibble on port C pins (to
simulate the pullups), and then turn off one of the bits in the high nibble.
The only time it takes one of the case paths is when bit 8 is off (0x70),
all the other times it just ignores the other cases.
Anyone have any ideas?

thanks

   // check ROW1
        PORTC = 0xfe;  // turn on pull ups and ground row 1
        readPort = PINC&0xf0;   // check just the high nibble
        switch (readPort) {
        case 0xe0:     // key 1 held down
                curKey = 1;
                break;
        case 0xd0:     // key 2 held down
                curKey = 2;
                break;
        case 0xb0:     // key 3 held down
                curKey = 3;
                break;
        case 0x70:     // key 4 held down
                curKey = 4;
                break;
        }

        PORTC = 0;
   return curKey;
}


int main(void)

        char kp;
        DDRC = 0x0f;
        PORTC = 0x00;

   while (1) {
                kp = ReadKeyPad();
        }
        return 0;
