Dear m4 developers,
I found a bug of m4-1.4.19 on Solaris 10 (SPARC), so I sent a bug report to
pkgsrc (http://gnats.netbsd.org/56336).
The message says:
./m4: internal error detected; please report this bug to :
Illegal instruction
So, I also forward the bug report to bug-m4.
Best regards,
I tried the same with another macro instead of the one with empty name and,
as you said, traceon does not trace the macros expanded through indir so
yeah, I agree with you. I just tried with the empty macro and didn't think
too much about it.
Regarding the development of a patch, I think I pass. H

There's nothing special about the macro with the empty name. t
