 It looks like this was fixed in r228063, which brought in changes from
 NetBSD and OpenBSD:
 
 $ echo 'eval(12245853,16,10)' | m4
 0000badb5d
 
 Unfortunately, that change went in right after the 9.0 branch was created.
 It's on HEAD, but hasn't been merged yet, maybe for some compatibility reasons.
