Control: tags -1 patch

I spoke too soon. It turns out that bash also has a recursion limit,
and it just silently exits with status 1. This appears to be due to
stack exhaustion.
ulimit -s hard fixed it.
With the attched patch I was able to process about 20k commits.
It was slow, but it succeeded.
The package dependencies may need `bash` adding too.
Ian.
