It chokes on new sendmail's .m4 files (m4/proto.m4). Yup - for what it's worth, BSDI and NetBSD's m4 both break in exactly the same way; I was chasing this exact problem up a couple of weeks ago. >and replacing m4 with GNU m4 1.0.3 wiped away the problem. > >-rw-r--r-- 1 ftp 239537 Dec 20 1992 /sources/gnu/m4-1.0.3.tar.gz That's very interesting. I'd pop in GNU's m4 tomorrow except I'm not all that sure what other things it would then break! :-( We'll definately have to look into this, thanks! I didn't know GNU m4 worked. Jordan -- (Jordan K.
