Strange behaviour with epoch and gnus

I have a very strange behaviour using gnus inside an epoch screen
with version emacs-18.55/epoch-3.2pl0 and emacs-18.57/epoch-3.2pl2 too
(under SUNOS 4.1):

My startup for gnus looks like this:

epoch -l .xinit.el

.xinit.el:

;;; gnus-screen

(select-screen
 (create-screen 'nil 
		'((title . "Gnus")
		  (icon-name . "Gnus")
		  (geometry . "85x61+5+95")
		  (initial-state . 'nil))))
(load "gnus")
(gnus)

(message ".xinit.el done.")


The problem is that _sometimes_ the *scratch*-screen contains the
contents of the *Newsgroup*-buffer and the *Newsgroup*-screen contains
the gnus startup page. The strange thing is just that this behaviour
is *not predictable*. Sometimes on startup it happens and sometimes
not.

Any hints?
