I stared at it for a while, and didn't spot anything wrong with it.
I did wonder about two things, though:
(1) if turning your "preparation; do { ... } while()" into
"while () { }" would make the result a bit easier to read;
(2) if we can somehow eliminate duplication of "tab + 1" (spelled
differently on the previous line as "1+tab"), the end result
may get easier to follow.
but both are minor.
