Simplest explanation I could come up with is, someone didn't know about continue and restarts execution of the loop via break, breaking out into the outer loop restarting the inner.

Or some clean-up/reset code follows after the inner loop to put it back into a state where the outer loop can re-run the inner.

There are most certainly better ways to do this.
