I would contact the author, and include information about which version
of tailor.py you are using...or at least how recently you updated your
copy.

As I worked with tailor.py to get SVN sync'ing work, I came across
several bugs in tailor that caused dumps like this. In every case, Lele
was helpful and prompt in addressing the issue. (I don't have much
python skill to help myself).

An expanded test suite for that project would be helpful.
