Epoch 4.0 on ISC Unix 3.0

ISC Unix 3.0 can be added to the list of platforms for which
Epoch can be built.  The only gotchas were that -DHAVE_SELECT and
-DSYSV_STREAMS have to be added to config.h.

There is only one thing that's bothering me, and I can't
understand what's causing it.  When caps lock is down, characters
still appear in lower case.  At first I thought that caps lock
was being ignored, but Epoch does honour caps lock for command
sequences (e.g. if caps lock is down, typing M-d results in M-D).
This problem only occurs in the X version, and not the ascii
version.  It exists in both 4.0b1 and 4.0 with Interactive Unix
3.0 and X 2.0 (X11R4).

Can any Epoch gurus give me pointers on how to fix this problem?
