it only makes a difference for negative len. And negative len looks invalid
and would cause problems. So some check for negative len is needed, the
(unsigned) achievs this but i can replace it by an explicit len < 0 
if people prefer ?

Its not that you shouldnt use gotos but rather that you should write
readable code and code with gotos often but not always is less readable
