rebuild slick c tag file got a stack error dump

[Graeme]

My tag file had beta 5 files in it so I did rebuild all and got an error.
It worked the second time without an error.

"Incorrect version" indicates that the maketags.e batch macro was the wrong version.  This could happen under one of the following (odd) circumstances.  Note that the installers make sure that all the batch macros are updated and compiled.

1) Your current directory was a directory containing a maketags.e and maketags.ex that were both read-only.

2) You modified maketags.e in your installation directory, but maketags.ex is read-only.

3) You have a path in your VSLICKMACROS environment where SlickEdit is picking up an old version of maketags.e.

4) A whole other scenario entirely that boils down to SlickEdit trying to load an out-of-date version of maketags.ex.
