Problem with vi "tags" file

I'd like to use the "tags" feature of "vi", but I can't get it to work with my
own tags file.  The standard tags file (/usr/lib/tags) works great... for
instance, ":ta printf" takes me right to /usr/src/lib/libc/stdio/printf.c.

But if I do ":se tags=/usr1/jerryp/.lib/vi_tagfile" and store the following two
lines in "vi_tagfile":

p	/usr1/jerryp/.profile	1
tags	/usr1/jerryp/.lib/vi_tagfile	1

...the command ":ta p" gives the error "p: no such tag".  And ":ta tags"
doesn't work, either.

We're running version 3.7 of "vi", 6/7/85.  Any suggestions?  Thanx...
