Description Frank.Mayhar 1999-08-26 16:40:01 UTC 
	The code in ex/ex_tag.c replaces the / it just removed before it
	stats the directory; it should wait until after it does the stat.

Fix: Here's a patch:
How-To-Repeat: 
	Honestly, I don't remember.  I think it has to do with multiple
	tags files, but it's a real bug.

Have you raised this issue with the maintainer of nvi,
Keith Bostic <bostic@bostic.com> ?

Ciao,
Sheldon.

I did raise this issue with Keith Bostic, who said that he would
fix it "when he got around to it."  That was, oh, over a year ago?
The last time I talked to Keith was at BSDCon in October, 2000 and
it was still on his list of things to do.
