I need to see more context before I can determine whether this is, as I suspect, a quoting bug in your sendmail.mc file and not a bug in m4. For example, was line 18 inside a macro definition, and what were the current quote and comment delimiters? Please attach the sendmail.mc file that was causing the problems. This chapter in the m4 manual may be helpful: http://www.gnu.org/software/m4/manual/html_node/Pseudo-Arguments.html#Pseudo-Arguments It gives an example where an unquoted comment occurs _inside a macro call_, and as a result, changes the behavior of the rescanning algorithm to be less than intuitive. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
