When using epoch on a MIPS running riscos4.0 and X11r4, if the window
manager (twm) is told not to put a titlebar on the minibuffer, the
minibuffer just grows and grows.  Eventually it stops, at around 300 lines big.
It sometimes dumps core at this stage, according to other people using
it, but it hasn't done it for me.

Have you a solution for this?

(The only other problem I had was that some things, like nroff-mode,
weren't autoloaded, where they were in emacs 18.57.  That was easy to
fix!).

This is a bug in twm introduced in the last patch to X11r4.  I reported it
to x-bugs, but you can fix your own twm for now:
