+  cause a core dump when handed extra large values.  Also, `divert' now
+  uses memory proportional to the number of diversions in use, rather than
+  to the maximum diversion number encountered, so that large diversion
+  numbers are less likely to exhaust system memory.
 * The `--help' and `--version' command line options now consistently
   override all earlier options.  For example, `m4 --debugfile=trace
   --help' now no longer accidentally creates an empty file `trace'.
