To quote Eric: "I _highly_ suggest updating your cygwin installation." 
Go to www.cygwin.com, download setup.exe, and use that to update 
everything you have installed. Note that bug-m4 is not an appropriate 
list for help updating a Cygwin installation.

It is not surprising that recent m4 binaries do not work with ancient 
versions of cygwin1.dll.

p.s. it would be great if you could fix your mailer to use the standard 
'Re:' prefix when replying instead of 'AW:' which confuses (at least) 
other mailers and gmane.
