bug#48107: 27.2; tags-quiery-replace fails to find occurences

[Bob Floyd]

Awh, shucks, I was flattered for a moment.

How stable is the development version? Or, will I be disappointed if I use
it for work? Or, how soon will the development version become 27.3?

The issue is driving me nuts and the workaround ....

Thanks,
BOB

Indeed, that works, thanks.  For Bob Floyd: "go to BOB" is not a reference 
to your first name ;-), it means "go to the beginning of buffer", for 
example with M-<.
