Why does etags ask me if I want to keep the old TAGS - I do not want to

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

I work on a software project with the source files in quite some
directories. I create my TAGS table in
k:/ERADIUM_kalle/LD_swmodules_005 and work in another. The first time
I use "M-.", I am asked for the tags table to use. After responding to
this I am taken to the definition.

If I then use "M-." to get to another definition, I am asked "Keep
current list of tags tables also?".
If I have the *Message*-buffer in another window, I can now see this:
k:/ERADIUM_kalle/LD_swmodules_005/TAGS and
k:/ERADIUM_kalle/LD_SwModules_005/TAGS are the same file [2 times]

If I then answer "n", I get "No tags containing ...". If I instead
answer "y",  I am taken to the definition.

After this the tags functionality works as expected. Well, sometimes I
get a file loaded in a buffer with buffername filename<2>. I have not
been able to do this reproducibly yet.

Confessions:
Since I haven't been able to find a way to produce TAGS-tables on
windows 2000 recursively, I use "ctags -e" with ctags from
"http://ctags.sourceforge.net/";. Thes has worked flawlessly for me for
me for years. The problems have started rather recently.

k: is where my clearcase mounts are located.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
   `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
c:/Download/emacs-070405/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
