Ooo... nice catch!  And thanks for the fix.  *blush*

Yep, I've had a a version of m4-1.9 from before the move to git as my  
main m4 for a very long time.

More recently (the last several months at least, though I haven't  
tested again in a few weeks), master seems to choke sometimes when  
used with autoconf, but I haven't had time to investigate.  I'll  
bisect my way back to the guilty changeset next time I see it happen.

Cheers,
        Gary
