If you are running the apt in slink on a sun4c, upgrade to the one in potato pronto. There are pthreads issues on sun4c, and the potato apt works around it.

As for your problem, it really looks like m4 is segfaulting, since updatedb appears to be a script, and not a program. Try running "m4" by itself, and see what happens. If it segfaults, then do me a favor and install strace, then run this command: strace -o m4.out m4 Then send me the m4.out file created by strace.
