Frankly speaking I didn't know that ./tags is relative to the current
file (I was expecting it to be relative to the current directory),
however that makes no difference to this bug.
- when you run taglist() in the above steps, there is no file opened.
- I repeated the experiment with just "tags" as the value for 'tags'.
- I also tried hardcoding the tags value to the absolution paths of both
tags files, something like: "c:/tmp/t1/tags,c:/tmp/t2/tags" and later
changing it to something like "c:/tmp/t1/tags", but it continues to
show results from both tags files.
