If one made a branch off 58d and then merged in the changes in the
taginfo handling into that and built it, wouldn't that fix 58d?
Only thing is I can't anymore build cvsnt since it moved to DOTNET...
And we don't really know where Tony fixed the pointer problem, right?
Earlier on it was inside the tag.c (renamed to tag.cpp) file, but
nowadays I guess the handling is in the trigger_something file..
It was done in build 1817 if my memory serves me right, though.
