Hello!

    I have posted this bug before for epoch4.0 and epoch4.1, but it
still exists in epoch4.2 so I'm posting it again (although I don't
know if my posting actually reached anyone before).

    I use epoch with a local minibuffer.  Quite often when a prompt
should appear in the minibuffer, the cursor appears at the begiining
of a blank minibuffer line; a backspace puts the cursor on top of the
final character in the line.

    This problem is more disconcerting when epoch is expecting a (y/n)
answer and the prompt does not appear, because the cursor stays in the
buffer and there is no way to tell what epoch is doing.
