Re: m4 and format strings

[KF <dotslash () snosoft com>]

GNU m4 is maintained by Reni Seindal. 
Checking his changelog from 
http://www.seindal.dk/rene/gnu/changelog.htm
I didn't see any changes since 2000-01-16 so someone may wish to pass
the 
patch on to the author if it was not provided by him. 

Here is at least three of the threads with the format issues if anyone
was 
interested in the possible exploitation of this issue.

This is the thread which spawned from the man issue.
