In C if there is no break it will fall through, yes, but that would hardly 
result in the behaviour the OP wanted. Take this for example:

#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
  int i = 0;
  switch(i) {
    case 0:
      i = 2;
    case 1:
      printf("i is one (except it's not)\n");
    case 2:
      break;
  }
  return 0;
}

I assume the OP would want that to execute the 0 case and then the 2 case, but 
it executes all three. I also assume that if the 2 case would set i to 0 
again, the OP would want it to start over again, which it also won't.

HTH,
Sebastian
