True, the assignment may result in loss of significant bits, so 'incPos' 
and 'incLen' should be longs. But in real life it only causes problems if the 
tags file is larger than 2GB.

If your tags file is larger than 2GB then nedit is probably the least of you 
problems :-)

There are many more problems like this. Look for 'Info 712' in the flexelint 
output I provided 2007-10-13.
