I've seen this bug too.  It seems to be a problem in keyboard.c.
The fix I've applied is as follows:

diff -c ../epoch-dist/src/keyboard.c keyboard.c
*** ../epoch-dist/src/keyboard.c        Fri Feb 22 16:51:45 1991
--- keyboard.c  Fri Feb 22 12:09:12 1991

        /* if only events and no keys, start over
         * the end of 8 years of clean coding...
         */
!       if (kbd_count < 1) goto get_char_start_over;
      }
  #else
    c = kbd_buffer_get_char ();
--- 889,898 ----
        /* if only events and no keys, start over
         * the end of 8 years of clean coding...
         */
!       if (kbd_count < 1) {
!         DoDsp (0);
!         goto get_char_start_over;
!       }
      }
  #else
    c = kbd_buffer_get_char ();

Perhaps one of the official maintainers could either suggest a better fix,
or incorporate this into patch-3.
