Steps to reproduce:

1. Type an empty case statement.
2. Result:

case
esac

I was able to fix this with a relatively simple change to indent/sh.vim (see
attached), but I'm very inexperienced with Vimscript. Still I'm happy to
help if possible, and I wanted to see whether anyone else had a better
suggestion.

Thanks, Peter

I'm attaching a slightly improved patch. As before, suggestions or
criticisms very welcome.
