I just noticed that GNU Emacs 18.51 seems to loop when I run list-tags
specifying the last file mentioned in the TAGS file.  The TAGS file was
generated by the etags from the 18.51 distribution.

For instance, I cd'ed to the lisp directory, ran 'etags *.el', went back
to Emacs, did a visit-tag-table for that TAGS file, and then list-tags on
yow.el (the alphabetically last .el file.  Emacs sat there for a bunch
of seconds, garbage collected a couple of times, by which point I
suspected something was up.  I quit, and went into the TAGS buffer,
added a ^L after the last line, re-ran list-tags, and it worked.

Anybody know whether I'm doing something wrong, or discovered a bug?
