I've been looking into these more.  They all seem to be caused by
set-buffer, I think to *Article*, with point outside of the buffer.
Using an Epoch modified to error instead of abort when this happens
has two unfortunate results:

    1. If debug-on-error is nil, the error sends Epoch into an
       infinite feep loop.
    2. If debug-on-error is t, the error is displayed (with a single
       feep), the debugger is loaded if necessary, but no backtrace is
       produced. 

However, (most of) these error seem to involve the last message in the
INBOX being deleted while the article buffer is not displayed.

Help?
