Hi,

It seems we have met a problem when using tags-search on a tag file
including another tag file (using the -i option in the etags program).
In this case, if you look for a symbol that is not found in the first
tag file, the tags-search function enters an infinite loop. This is
not the case if the symbol exists in the first tag file. In this case,
the search goes on normally with the included file.

We are using emacs vers. 19.22 on a sparc running SUN OS 4.1.3.

Thanks for any help,

-- Cyril Autant & Vincent Bittermann
