Sorry for taking so long to answer.  Unfortunately, most developers have
been busy finishing work on Emacs 22 or continuing work on Emacs 23.
Could you upgrade to say, at least, Emacs 22.3 and see whether the bug
persists?

What do you do to get out of this?  C-g?

I suppose it also works fine when you just enter `outline-minor-mode'
without the `hide-other'?  Does it happen with all tags or just special
ones?  When you visit the c++ file where the tag resides, is the tag
visible or hidden?  When the file containing the tag is already in a
buffer does Emacs behave the same?

Thanks for the report. Emacs 21 is very old and has not been supported
for some time. The latest version is 23.3. Please open new reports for
any issues you have with the new version.
