Not a bug, but perhaps nonoptimal:

There appears to be no way to abort a tags-search once started, short
perhaps of kill -9.  In particular, ^G appears to have no effect.

I'm working on a large application with several hundred source files,
so tags-* functions are frequently a godsend, but it _can_ be a little
irritating to find myself locked up for minutes at a time in a search
I change my mind on.  I'd not comment on such a thing normally, but
GNU Emacs seems so nearly totally free of such infelicities ...
*grin*.

Keep up the good work, and many thanks to all of you.

Jeff
