Has anyone tried these find-tags macros?  I've tried the original and the
cleaned up version that someone else posted and have had trouble with them
on Sun 3s running SunOS 3.5.  As close as I can come to figuring it out,
there might be a bug in expression processing within macros and the $kill
buffer.  The following code does some strange things:

	copy-region
	!if &sequal $kill ""
		write...
	!endif
	set %indent $kill

After this code runs twice (like finding the tag of two different identifiers),
the kill buffer ($kill) seems to have left over data from the last kill command
attached to the end of the new kill string ("position" -> "ident" =
"idention").  Has anyone else run into this type of problem?  Find-tags seems
great (from what I can see), if I can just get it to work consistently.
