Thank you!
The problem appears to be the letter-case. I can repeat this by using
etags from the pretest on the files in src in the pretest source. If I
load process.c, run find-tag and change the spelling of src to Src, I
get the same behaviour the second time I use find-tag.

I find this strange since emacs on MS windows does not care about
letter-case in other places.

This is however easily worked around once you know the cause.
