Jim's recent complaint about not detecting numeric overflow made me realize that the master branch has been broken for more than a year when it comes to
freezing a diversion that contains a \.  Fixed as follows.

An even bigger regression (and this time, it's not mine :).

Ooo... nice catch!  And thanks for the fix.  *blush*

 Has anyone been
seriously using the master branch with frozen files in the last 7 years?

Yep, I've had a a version of m4-1.9 from before the move to git as my main m4 for a very long time.

More recently (the last several months at least, though I haven't tested again in a few weeks), master seems to choke sometimes when used with autoconf, but I haven't had time to investigate. I'll bisect my way back to the guilty changeset next time I see it happen.

Cheers,
