I can correct this with:

	sed -i -e 's,^\(.*\)default:,foo\1default:,g' \
		-e 's,^[[:space:]]*\([[:alpha:]]\+[[:alnum:]]*:\)$, \1,g' \
		-e 's,^foo\(.*\)default:,\1default:,g' origin/*.[ch]

However scripts/Lindent undoes it.  Is there a way to keep Lindent from indenting labels?  When I looked at indent's man page it only talked about case labels.

I must have forgotten to run Lindent on the final code.  I'll run it (or just a sed to remove the trailing whitespace) on the code before I submit the version that addresses all the comments.

Confirmed 239 instances of > 80 columns by:

	for i in *.[ch]; do 
		echo $i
		sed -e 's,\t,        ,g' $i | 
			grep -n '^.\{80\}.\+$'
	done

I thought Lindent would handle that prettily, but I guess not.  

It seems to have enforced 80-column on some lines (sticking a bunch of right justified parameters) and on others it has made things a lot worse.   

Lindent seems to have converted space-justified column alignment into tab-justified column alignment, which frequently doesn't fit in 80 columns.  For example:

          1         2         3         4         5         6         7
01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
int param_antenna = 0;<-10spc->/* def: 0 = both antennas (use diversity) */

was changed to:

         1         2         3         4         5         6         7
01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789
int param_antenna = 0;<-  two tabs  ->/* def: 0 = both antennas (use diversity) */

Is there another tool people use besides Lindent to enforce style?
