Bug#507116: vim: :cstag claims format error in TAGS file but :tag works

[Török Edwin]

Package: vim
Version: 2:7.2.049-1
Severity: normal

This works:

vim -u NONE -U NONE
:tag cli_ac_scanbuff

This doesn't:
vim -u NONE -U NONE
:cstag cli_ac_scanbuff
E431: Format error in tags file "TAGS"
Before byte 109640
E257: cstag: tag not found

I am attaching the compressed TAGS file.

Note that I have no cscope.out file, I was expecting cstag to work
the same as :tag in the absence of cscope.out file.
