Changing the target of a tag is considered to be a really bad idea.
I have to run, but you can look it up on the web as to why.

I can delete the tag for you, but regardless, I recommend you use
another one. This happened to me too when I was creating an earlier
GDB release, so it's really important to be careful when creating
them...
