Could you please remove me from this list?  I'm swamped with mail.  I
just can't read it all.

I'm running epoch 4.0.1 on SunOS 4.1.1 on a SPARC 1+ running the XNEWS server
and mwm.  If I close an epoch screen (ie, Xwindow) using either the window
manager Close or epoch C-z 0 (remove-screen), I occasionally experience
the death of an unrelated xterm window (unrelated meaning I didn't start
epoch from that xterm).  The error message I get from xterm is:

xterm:  warning, error event receieved:
X Error of failed request:  BadWindow (invalid Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0xf00018
  Serial number of failed request:  3081
  Current serial number in output stream:  3081

It would appear to the untrained eye that epoch is sending Bad stuff to
my xterm.  Is this a known bug?  If so, is there a known fix?  Could this
be an xterm bug?  I've never seen this problem except when closing epoch
screens.
