Well, I think I've found it on my system:
Version of Epoch: "Epoch 4.0 Patchlevel 2"

Platform and operating system (via uname -a):
HP-UX bree A.08.07 E 9000/750 2016104081
X Window System, Version 11 HP-UX 8.07 A.04.00 IF2 $Revision: 2.35
HP Visual User Environment Version 2.01      A.01.03
(The documentation says that vue is derived from mwm, version 1.1)

Compiler:
HP92453-01 A.08.79 HP C Compiler


Thus the common denominator may be mwm, not OpenWindows.

BTW, it takes about 10 to 15 minutes for my pasted from windows to
die.
