I've got a problem with Epoch. It happens on both the virgin 3.2 and
with patches 1 and 2 installed. If you use the mouse to select a very
large area (on the order of 500,000 bytes) when you release the mouse
button epoch dies. It doesn't core dump. It just quits. No
explanition.

The same thing happens when I try using either x-copy-region or
x-cut-region with the same size region by hand.

Operating system: Domain/OS 10.3
Epoch: 3.2 (patches #1 & #2)

Does anybody else have this problem?
