problem with highlighted region

Currently when I highlight something either by left-down and drag or
by left-down and then right-down the text in the highlighted region is
"funny." Sometimes if I slowly extend the highlighted region by
clicking on adjascent characters epoch will not display the first
character.  Other times it simply highlights random bits of what
should be highlighted.

I'm running epoch3.2 built on sunos4.1 on a sun4.

Interestingly enough I didn't have this problem on
epoch built on sunos4.0.3 (atleast I don't think
I had this problem)

When I use the left mouse button to simply position
the cursor the "funny" highlighted region goes
back to normal.

I just checked the kill-ring and the wrong text is
in there.

I can give more info, but perhaps this is a well-known
problem (hope,hope...).  Thanks for any info.


BTW, in case it matters I changed:
#undef VALBITS
#define VALBITS 26
#undef GCTYPEBITS
#define GCTYPEBITS 5

in my config.h --- but it seems unlikely that this would
cause the problem...
