Okay cool, applied.  We're getting there :-)

This one is now fixed in CVS too, I hope.  An error in the testsuite, rather 
than a problem with m4.

Hmmm.  Somehow strlen is getting a NULL pointer, but I don't have enough 
context to understand how that is happening.

Can you send me the text files from testsuite.dir/2 and /34 please?

If you change freeze.c:120-123 to read:

  if (name)
    {
      fprintf (file, "M%lu\n", (unsigned long) strlen (name));
      fputs (name, file);
      fputc ('\n', file);
    }

That will stop the SEGV, but I fear there is something deeper going wrong, as 
one of the handles must have a null name.

If you can give me SSH access to your machine I'll be able to help you debug 
it...

Cheers,
        Gary.
