Hello,
http://home.comcast.net/~ericblake/m4-1.4.10b.27-14840.tar.bz2
worked and all tests passed. However, it seems to be some 1.4.10
version and my bug was against 1.4.11. So I took the patch at the end
of your email and applied it by hand to 1.4.11 and tested that also.
That worked and had no test failures too. I attached the final patch
I used with m4-1.4.11.tar.bz2 to this email. The context was
different on hunk 1.
Thank you for the very fast fix! Please use my full name for
attribution: "John Gatewood Ham". I have this strange email account
because I am a distribution maintainer and this is the account I use
for that work.
Thank you,
JGH
