Corina,

Unfortunately generation of tags is beyond my control. They are using 
environment variables so our source tree could be accessible the same 
way from Unix and Windows (cygwin) machines, where the root environment 
variable is different.

This issue looks like a buffer overflow to me.

Is there anybody willing to take a deeper look?

Thanks,
Alex
