3 issues

Hello,


First issue: I've some source trees which contains dangling symbolic
links.  Not feeding these
to gtags is a pain, but if I feed them gtags die because it can't open the
link.

I've solved my problem by modifying createtags in gtags/gtags.c and
replacing

                        if (!test("b", path))
by
                        if (!test("rb", path))


Second issue: I get a message

   gtags: unexpected end of record.

and no G* files if I specify /bin/sort on a 

   Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 7)

box as the posix sort.  The sort program identifies itself as

   sort (coreutils) 5.2.1

I'm running now without a sort.  I've not tried to debug the issue.


Third issue: I'd like to use different plugin parsers for the same
extension.  I've tried to
run gtags twice, the second one with -i, but the data for the first run is
lost.  I've investigated
with a dummy parser which does nothing.  gtags will still register the
file and it would be listed 
by global -P:

  gtags --gtagslabel dummy -f list1
  global -P

shows the files in list1.  But if I do then

  gtags -i -f list2

global -P shows only the files in list2.  I've tried to use 
--single-update but I ended up with
more issues (gtags seems to search all the tree and I get crashes).  I'll
try to get more precise
informations but if there is a flow known to work for that, I'd be
interested.

Yours,
