Okay, I am repeating the setup on my Fedora 20 system, with autopoint
0.18.3 and m4 1.4.16; and I can reproduce that running 'autopoint
--force' is the step in ./autogen.sh that causes m4 to run away with
memory. At this point, I'm suspecting an autopoint bug.

Or something in the way autopoint is running m4.
