My guess is that the bug lies in the initialization of signal handlers, since that is about the only thing that happens prior to text output in the --version usage. One thing I noticed in the gnulib logs is a patch that happened after m4 1.4.12, which addresses signal handlers on Windows 2008; I'm guessing that it is also relevant to your Vista situation: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2008-10/msg00314.html http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=d8374ab In which case, my plan to release m4 1.4.13 by the end of this year should help out. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
