This is intended behavior, the result of a couple of odd decisions on
the part of the emacs and epoch designers.  To be more like some other
X applications, epoch automatically copys the selected text into the
paste buffer; an explicit copy is redundant.

Even more odd, if you do a copy operation twice in a row, it doubles
the contents of the paste buffer (instead of replacing it with the
same contents, which seems more natural).
