I'm using Epoch 4.2 on a Sun under X11R5, and find that it aborts
every time I attempt to get epoch's text selection from within a
Smalltalk system.  As this happens for many paste operations and also
every time Smalltalk prompts me for a string of text, this makes it
hard to attempt to use both at the same time!

I'm using Objectworks\Smalltalk from ParcPlace Systems, and don't have
source to the Smalltalk end, so can't figure out what Smalltalk is
doing.  Pasting into other windows (eg xterm) works fine.

Note that there is no core dump or warning -- it just vanishes with
the message "Abort".

Any help, suggestions, advice, gratefully received...
