using emacsclient with Epoch

I am an experienced Emacs 18.57 user, just starting with Epoch 3.2.  I
often use emacsclient to send files to Emacs for editing.  Why doesn't
this work with Epoch?

Details: I am running Epoch 3.2 under MIT X11 R4 on a Sun Sparcstation
1+ with SunOS 4.1.1.  Official Epoch patches 1 and 2 were applied.
Within Epoch I run the server-start command, which is documented as
usual in Emacs.  Then I expect to be able to go to the Unix command
line (in an xterm off to the side) and say
"/usr/local/lib/epoch/etc/emacsclient foobar".  This should put the
file foobar into a buffer for editing.  Instead, the following message
pops up in the minibuffer: "Symbol's value as variable is void:
target-buffer".

I would appreciate an e-mail reply.  If I learn anything of interest,
I will post a summary.
