I'm having an issue using a tags file which was generated on a fairly simple javascript file. Here is the broken tags file: http://pastie.org/1026748.txt and here is the javascript file: http://github.com/gf3/IRC-js/blob/60f2fbc8349d218da8a5674b82424460226d968e/lib/irc.js .

I get the following error in vim when I try to search for tags:

E431: Format error in tags file "tags"
Before byte 5541

It looks like the ctags is getting caught somewhere in the source and generating massive tag identifiers.

Testing this with the current SVN source (release after 5.8) this is working correctly and tags are created which also look correct.
