Hell yes! That's one of the main things that needs to be patched.
Install off the floppies and patch again.

You can try: Delete the indexes and build them again, but there's no
guarantee. If you add an index by the same tag name, it doesn't
overwrite the old one, it just turns it off and tacks another order to
the end.
Index deletion and rebuild is the only way to clean it up.
