I'm running epoch 4.1 on a Sparc 2, OS 4.1.1 with X11R4 under motif.
I have two windows, the Minibuffer and a working window, arranged vertically
the working window against the top of the screen, the Minibuffer against the
bottom of the screen and a little space in between the two.

Every once in a while, while I'm typing in epoch, a rectangular area,
containing both epoch windows, AND THE BACKGROUND IN BETWEEN THE TWO WINDOWS,
is erased and the keyboard and mouse are rendered ineffective.  After 10 or 20
seconds the X window system disappears and I'm logged off of the Sun.
A core dump of XSun is left in my home directory.

adb prints the following call trace:
core file = core -- program ``Xsun''
SIGSEGV 11: segmentation violation

Does anyone know what the problem is here?
