Hi Steve,

No, it doesn't. This looks like a bug in Exuberant Ctags that was
reported in August of 2009:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=541316

Since development of Exuberant Ctags stopped sometime in 2009, it
may never have been fixed.

Workarounds proposed in that report include editing the tags file
and deleting any suspicious lines before the !_TAG_FILE_FORMAT line,
or filtering the tags file with an awk script (although I think
using sed or grep would be simpler).

If this happens only occasionally, I would just edit the tags file
with Vim. If it's a continual problem, then running ctags like this
should fix it:

$ ctags -R -f - | grep $'\t' > tags

You could also try using Universal Ctags instead of Exuberant Ctags.
It might not have the bug, if this is indeed a bug in Exuberant
Ctags.

You're welcome. I hope we can find a good solution.

Regards,
Gary
