'IndexError: list index out of range' when trying to build tags for the nodejs/node repo

If I had to guess this could be related to there being too many symbols in the the repo 😄

I have the same problem

I'm seeing this on another repo now while trying to rebuild tags.

I was having this problem too. Doing some searching pointed out the ST3 now does it's own indexing so if you mouse over a symbol, a popup appears showing links to where that symbol is defined. Can click on those links to open the file. Or you can right click on the symbol and select "Goto Definition"

Also running into this with ruby code. Works fine in other, smaller apps I work on though.

https://github.com/SublimeText/CTags/pull/279 fixed this issue for me.
