I think this perhaps because there's a > in the middle of the line 20
which could be parsed differently

I'm using sendmail 8.14.1-9

I must explain that I discovered this problem while trying to add some
features to sendmail using the sendmail webmin module so I first
reported this bug to webmin :
https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1828205&group_id=17457&atid=117457
It is possible that this module doesn't use the same default files as
other debian tools.
there's another strange thing when I ran in shell as jcameron asked me :
cd /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4 ; m4 /usr/share/sendmail/cf/m4/cf.m4
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/debian/sendmail.mc
I got the error, and it is the same for
/usr/share/sendmail/cf/debian/submit.mc
but when I run
cd /etc/mail ; m4 sendmail.mc or m4 submit.mc
I get no error with the same files
