I haven't fully explored this one yet, so I can't say that I'm sure my
conclusions are completely correct yet, but here goes anyway.  In a batch
file (I happen to be using the .btm type):

Iff condition1 then gosub subroutine
endiff

:subroutine
iff condition2 then commands
endiff
return

gives an error.  Unexpected endiff when it encounters the endiff in the
first iff when condition1 is true.
It acts like the second iff (the one in the subroutine) is making it forget
that it is still in the middle of the first iff.
