Thanks for the report.  Which platform are you running on (cygwin with
text mounts, mingw, or other)?  I'm assuming it's windows-based and text
file related, since I can't reproduce it on cygwin with binary mounts; I
also suspect that the bug you are seeing is not in m4 proper but in the
stdio library of your platform.  But m4 should still be able to work
around the bug, if possible.  I'm hoping to release m4 1.4.10 once gnulib
is able to work around the known bugs in cygwin's fseeko and mingw's
ftell, and hopefully that will fix the bug for you.
