enum incorrect branch in switch

New comment
 

I have a bug in my code in which a switch statement branches to the wrong case for a user-defined enum. 

Here's the code which reports the incorrect enum.  When m_LogLevel == LOG_VERBOSE (4), the function returns LOG_DEBUG.  But unfortunately when I try to distill the problem down to a small example piece of code, the problem goes away.

string CLog::LogLevelString()
  {
   switch(m_LogLevel)
     {
      case LOG_NONE: return("LOG_NONE"); // 0
      case LOG_PRINT: return("LOG_PRINT"); // 1
      case LOG_MAJOR: return("LOG_MAJOR"); // 2
      case LOG_DEBUG: return("LOG_DEBUG"); // 3
      case LOG_VERBOSE: return("LOG_VERBOSE"); // 4
      default: return("error: Unknown log level "+(string)m_LogLevel);
     }
  }

Has anyone else noticed behaviour like this?

Prompted by a query, I thought I'd post a useful little utility that I have used for ages which emails the status of the account every hour.  After lengthy deliberation I decided to call it .... EmailStatus.  With only a small modification it could be used to log the status to a file, and the time...
