I'm confused. What are ``tags'' in OGM subtitles?

File is badly mastered: subtitles have startpos, but do not
have end pos. It's fault of subtitle stream, mplayer just does what it's
told to do.

This is broken subtitle stream in the movie, from what it looks like.
The second case clearly shows that there was subtitle:

659
00:45:06.943 -- 00.45.07.009
[continues with something]

whereas it should be

659
00:45:06.943 --> 00:45:07.009
[continues...]

Parser (whether it was Ogg Parser direct show filter that created the
movie, or ogmmux) found broken subtitle header and parsed it according
to its knowledge.

This is certainly error in subtitles after OCR from DVD. I have lot's of
them in my subtitles files.
