Just installed epoch-4.0p1 on our Sun4's running SunOS4.1 &
OpenWindows V2. The following sequence crashes the xterm:

1) start epoch by typing `epoch' in, say, xterm 1.
2) copy some text into buffer from xterm 2 with left mouse button.
3) type some text in epoch window, and then paste buffer content onto
   epoch window with middle mouse-button.
4) exit epoch window with C-x C-c.
5) This crashes xterm 2 with the following error message:

  xterm:  warning, error event receieved:
  X Error:  BadWindow
  Request Major code 2 ()
  Request Minor code 0
  ResourceID 0x1300002
  Error Serial #103
  Current Serial #103

(The last two Serial numbers varies for different instances.)

The window manager is vtwm, but the same happens with olvwm.

Does anybody know what I have done wrong? Suggestions welcomed.

Thanks --- Delman.
