Does it SEGV every time, or only if m4_symbol_pushdef needs to be
called?  I suspect the latter.

If so, does is SEGV before entering m4_symbol_pushdef or after it has
returned?  I suspect the former.

If my suspicions are correct, then I imagine it has to do with
handling the discarded return value from m4_symbol_lookup on the
stack...
