That code has been around a long time and probably came from pseudo-code in 
earlier
version of the 802.1d standard. The current version of the standard has
switched to RSTP and now has unreadable railroad track state machine
diagrams, rather than pseudo-code. So it is hard to check if your fix
is correct or not.
