When using Epoch 3.2 under HPUX 7.0 on an HP 835, I often get the following
message on pressing a mouse button

Wrong type argument: buttonp, #<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE(#o3777777777767> 
save your buffers immediately and please report this bug.

This seems to occur at quite random times, which makes me suspect problems
in the underlying C code, rather than in the lisp code for handling the
button.  I've also observed that when I attempt a duplicate-screen, I get
the error

Invalid type for conversion.

When attempting to debug what happens here, I find that sometime during the
execution of the lisp, the value of wm-protocol-list gets changed from

(#<X-Atom 82>), 

to 

(#<EMACS BUG: ILLEGAL DATATYPE (#o37777777766) Save your buffers immediately
and please report this bug>)


Anybody know whats happening, and hopefully how to fix it.
