It's not a bug, it's a feature. What happens is if that if there is an
error during the X event process, the handler is reset to prevent
runaway conditions. If you're willing to accept that risk*, then you
can do:
(setq epoch::event-handler-abort nil)
in your startup file.
* If you're not actively developing your own event handler code, the
risk is a very small one.
