Most likely, this is not a memory leak in m4, so much as a bug in
util-linux' configure.ac that is causing m4 to go into an infinite loop.
When you mention a git bisect, is that of the util-linux repository,
trying to determine which commit introduced the bug into the
configure.ac file? Or are you trying to bisect if an earlier version of
m4 did not have a memory leak on the same point in time of util-linux?
