I know that m4 1.4.10 (several versions ago) was broken for BSD and Mac OS, and generated corrupt configure files if they were larger than half a megabyte, so smaller projects did not suffer, but large projects like emacs would be susceptible. But that was quite a while ago. -- Eric Blake eblake@xxxxxxxxxx +1-801-349-2682 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
