I recently got a version of epoch 4.0a0 and compiled it.  It works great
except for the occasional keyboard bounce. I will get about 8 repeats
of the same character. I am running epoch 4.0a0, under sunos4.1.1 (sparc)
with an X11R5 server (clients are compiled under R4). I start up the
server with key repeat and delay options of 250 milliseconds and 30 milliseconds.
Adjusting this does not change the key bounce problem. I do not have this
problem with straight emacs 18.57.

Does anyone know if this a problem with X11R5 or a strange interaction with epoch?

I am addicted to epoch now that I have tried it and really hate to just run
plain emacs now.

I and at least one of my colleagues have the same problem under X11R5p3,
MIT Xsun server, twm, epoch 4.0a1.  With either Sun3s or SPARCs.

I have same problem, but I always seem to get four of the character. Could
a C-U be slipping into the input stream from somewhere? Mouse noise? It
seems specific to Sun architectures from what people have posted. Ideas?
