Better do that.  I get (with or without mule)
Internal error: lstream not open: #<INTERNAL EMACS BUG (filedesc lstream) 0x85b6800>

but not a coredump.  The problem is in start-process:

(start-process "m4process" "*m4 output*" m4-program "-e")
#<process "m4process" pid 25847 state:run>

Which is bogus, since `/usr/local/bin/m4' cannot be run.

I'm changing that variable.  /usr/local/bin/m4 is a braindamaged
default.
