I tried recreating the crash using the contents of your "tags" file, but I only get this error: E431: Format error in tags file "/Users/winckler/.vim/doc/tags" Before byte 35 E149: Sorry, no help for help.txt So I'm not sure why it would lock up on your machine...but this is more of a Vim (as opposed to MacVim) and I don't understand much of the Vim source code anyway. By the way: the "tags" file is just an index for all the help files that you have installed "locally" (in your ~/.vim folder). So it is updated e.g. when you install a new plugin with VimBall. You can also call ":helptags ~/.vim/doc" to update the "tags" file manually (this will overwrite the old "tags" file).
