Uhmmm, yes maybe it is better. I set the value there because I
thought it was better to have all the assignations near between
them, so it was easier to know what was the value of err in
the call to die.

I am used to fallthrough (maybe because I didn't put mark ever),
but maybe is not the same for all the programmers :?.
This patch is more about style that real benefit of the changes. I
usually reuse all the possible paths of a switch to avoid code duplication.
