The problem was that tags were parsed assuming a "qident" class,
which doesn't include ".".  That dated back to 2001.  I've changed
it to accept any "graphic" character.

The report didn't mention the command-line for ctags.
That appears to be something like
<pre>ctags --format=2  --extra=+fq *</pre>

(I'll see why the command-line doesn't work for this case).

Exuberant-ctags has a feature where file basenames can be used to create tags.

These file name tags don't work, while other tags work fine.

I just noticed this on vile 9.8o.

$ vile -V
vile version 9.8o for linux-gnu, installed Thu Oct  2 08:01:02 2014

The offending line in that tags file is:

$ od -c tags1
0000000   i   c   r   o   n   .   c  \t   g      u   s   b      h   w
0000020   /   i   c   r   o   n   .   c  \t   1   ;   "  \t   F  \n
0000037

Tags1 is simple the tags file cut down using vile to the one line in
question.

As you can see, the OS is reasonably up to date on patches. This is
Debian/jessie.

I've looked at bugs back to the install date, and don't see anything
like this.

Thank you for a wonderful/stable editor and fixing prior bugs I've
submitted and adding features I've requested.
