Epoch still seems to have that characteristic of occasionally crashing
for no apparent reason.  I'm using epoch 4.01a under X11R5 ( no fixes
applied yet ) on a Sun 4/470 ( SunOS 4.1.1 ).  Here's what gdb said
about the core file:

I wasn't even typing when it crashed this time.  Maybe it was
garbage collecting, or auto saving when it crashed.  I just noticed
that the window vanished and sure enough, there was a core file in my
home directory.

 Hope this helps you track down this elusive bug.  Almost every epoch
user I know has experienced these occasional seg. faults but we still tolerate it since it always has the courtesy to autosave before dying :^).
