Thanks for the report; a SIGBUS should never happen.  I'm guessing from
the error message that this was m4 1.4.12?  (Earlier versions did not trap
SIGBUS).  I don't have access to a Mac OS machine; is there any way you
could help by building m4 with debugging symbols, and capture a stack
trace?  Have you followed the advice to set the MallocHelp environment
variable, and if so, what does that give you?
