Cursor stuck in minibuffer?

An odd problem has been cropping up occasionally, but I have not
been able to reproduce it on demand.  From time to time, the cursor
will get stuck in the minibuffer, when no minibuffer command is active.
I can select another buffer by clicking on it, but whenever I activate
another window (eg. by moving the mouse; I use keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer),
the cursor goes back into the minibuffer.  I use 'epoch -nm' to put
the minibuffer at the bottom of each epoch window.  The only way I've
found to fix things when this happens is to exit epoch completely and
start it up again.

If I try typing anything in the minibuffer and pressing return, I get
the message "No catch for tag: exit, nil".

Is there some way to get epoch to reset itself, sort of the equivalent
of 'stty sane'?  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Jason
