I am running Epoch 4.0p2 on an IBM Risc System/6000, and have discovered
the following unusual crash: 
if I execute "epoch" with no .emacs file whatsoever, it comes up and everything
is fine.

If, however, the contents of .emacs are:
(font "8x13")
(font "8x13" (minibuf-screen))

then when I execute "epoch", the minibuffer and edit screen appear, change
fonts to "8x13", and then they disappear and the messages:
Fatal error(11).
Segmentation fault(coredump)

appear on the xterm from which I executed "epoch".

However, if I let it come up with no .emacs file, I can then execute the
two font commands with no problem.
 
So, I have a workaround, but I thought you'd like to hear about the bug.

This should be fixed in 4.1 (boy oh boy, I feel like I'm running for
office...)
