Below is a fragment of a .fvwmrc file which works fine on SunOS/Solaris
fvwm 1.24r. But when run it on Linux fvwm 1.24r, I get an error.
It's the backquotes that is the problem. Maybe someone knows the problem
or can offer a solution?

# Personal items
Popup "My Utilities"
Title "My Utilities"
Exec "Xterm" exec xterm -n "`hostname|cut -f1 -d.`" -T "`hostname`" -e tcsh &
EndPopup
<------------------------------>
On debian linux this results in the message
"NONE:0: m4: ERROR: EOF in string"
and then a fvwm segmentation fault.
Is there a problem with linux fvwm and what is being passed to m4, or does
the problem lie solely with linux's gnu m4?
Thanks for any pointers.
