One of the people I work with has isolated a set of steps to reproduce this
problem at will.

    If you do the following sequence of actions:

    - start epoch and an hpterm window from your node
    - bring up an epoch buffer, e.g. /tmp/tryIt
    - cut any text from the created hpterm window 
	(using the left mouse button)
    - paste the text into the created epoch buffer
	(using the middle mouse button)
    - type M-x save-buffer-kill-buffer in the epoch buffer
    - wait approximately 15 minutes

    Then the hpterm window you created will disappear.

    This link between epoch and hpterms is not proven, but I have been able
    to make this scenario happen without fail so far. 

While you wait this 15 minutes, you cannot left-button click in an any
other epoch window, as this has the effect of re-initializing the cut buffer.
