yeah. You might want to look into this. I've checked files from my mirror, ftp.iinet.net.au, and the CD. None of them have this 5.7 tag you claim is there. Now, IF you had a machine you ran on an older release, checked out a -stable version of the tree, then tried to upgrade to -current and overwrote the tree with the new source tar.gz file -- the old "Tag" files would still be there, and not altered or removed by the newer tar.gz files.
