I am running Epoch 4.0p2 on an IBM Risc System/6000, and have discovered the following unusual crash: if I execute "epoch" with no .emacs file whatsoever, it comes up and everything is fine. If, however, the contents of .emacs are: (font "8x13") (font "8x13" (minibuf-screen)) then when I execute "epoch", the minibuffer and edit screen appear, change fonts to "8x13", and then they disappear and the messages: Fatal error(11). Segmentation fault(coredump) appear on the xterm from which I executed "epoch". However, if I let it come up with no .emacs file, I can then execute the two font commands with no problem. So, I have a workaround, but I thought you'd like to hear about the bug.
