Hello!

I'm using epoch4.0p1 on both Decs (Ultrix 4.2) and Sun 4s (4.1?), and
since I applied the patches to bring epoch4.0p0 up to 4.0p1, many
things have stopped working.  The most obvious problem is that the
display of time and load average no longer works.  Another problem is
that on my Decstation gdb just hangs epoch, making it nearly
impossible to kill (running epoch inside gdb did not help; I could not
stop epoch to get a backtrace).  On the Sun, gdb just puts

Current directory is /users/peterf/mss/ras/

Inferior Gdb exited abnormally with code 1

into the gdb buffer.  I can't be sure that gdb actually worked with
4.0p0, however.

I suspect that the display-time problem is in the updated elisp files,
because an old 4.0p0 binary I kept around no longer works properly
either.

A third problem with epoch4 in general when using the '-nm' flag is
that prompts sometimes do not appear in the local minibuffer; if there
is a default on the line (such as 'make -k' with compile) the prompt
can be made to reappear by backing up a character.

This problem is especially irritating if it occurs when no prompt
is expected, such as when epoch asks if you want to save a file before
a compilation; as no prompt appears, there is no way to tell why a
compilation has not started.
