Some old GNU tarballs can be find at funet (Linux's first distributor). And:
http://www.nic.funet.fi/index/gnu/funet/historical-funet-gnu-area-from-early-1990s/m4-1.1.tar.gz
says that the bug in question is indeed in m4 1.1 dated 1993-11-08.
As far as I know, this holds the record for the oldest bug reported in
GNU software so far this year. (Maybe we should give Andy a prize; how
about a plaque inscribed in EBCDIC? :-)
