Is that right, or has a problem already been found and corrected, here?

Problem: what if (dir==brake)?
I think only the right LCD arrow comes on.  There should be no "else".  The 2nd
to last line should start with 'if' not 'else if'

This problem has been fixed in the most recent CVS source file (dmotor.c), but
as far as I can tell it hasn't been part of an offical release yet:
