Well, I thought I'd fixed this in Epoch, but I can't find the fix
anymore. It seems to have gotten lost during a merge. Try the
following as a fix.

	    (progn
	      (while (and (not (bobp)) (looking-at paragraph-separate))
		(forward-line 1))
	      (if (eq (char-after (- (point) 2)) ?\n)
		  (forward-line -1)))
