Thanks for the report.  This has been previously reported; it is a known
bug in ungetc() in a VERY old version of glibc.  No one has bothered to
update the testsuite to ignore the bug, because most machines are using a
fixed glibc by now.  It does not impact m4's behavior, since m4 does not
use ungetc in a manner that tickles the bug.
