Subject: ctags fails sometimes + FIX
Index:	/usr/src/ucb/ctags.c 4.3BSD

Description:
	ctags will produce a file:linenumber tags file instead of a
	pattern search tags file under certain circumstances.

Repeat-By:
	Run ctags on a large pascal program on certain machines.

	Also by inspection.  Run "lint -hbx" on ctags.c. Its obvious.
	3 arguments are passed to routine pfnote() everywhere except
	one place.

	This bug also existed in the 4.2bsd version, and is present
	on many machines (eg: Vaxen, Sun's)

Fix:
	Apply the following patch.
