Server woes; please help!

Hello!  I've been using Epoch for a while now (V. 3.2), and I've been
having two irritating problems when using the server.

The first problem is that when you use emacsclient to edit an already
existing file, the server screen comes up fine with the current
contents of the file.  When you type any key inside the buffer,
however, the contents of the buffer disappear! (similarly to the
sign-on screen in the scratch buffer).  You have to use
'revert-buffer' to get the contents back.

The second problem is that when using emacsclient, Epoch prints
'Selecting deleted buffer'.  Once this starts happening, the only way
I've found to get the server working again is by restarting Epoch.

The part of my .emacs that starts up the server looks like
this:

(setq server-program "/proj/tools/lib/emacs/etc/server")
(server-start)
(get-buffer-create "*server*")

Thanks,
-peter.
