autoconf 2.69 breaks configure

linux ppc64 buildbot reveals interesting issue which shows as following while running configure:

./configure: line 561: save_bash_input: buffer already exists for new fd 417

it looks like this issue is presented in configure only when configure is generated by autoconf 2.69. On the same platform hand installed autoconf 2.68 produces working configure. I guess this is multi-platform so I do not mark platform here. Also as this is in 3th party package I'm reporting this just for the reference of known issue...
