🚀 go-pugleaf

In epoch 4.2, running on Ultrix V4.2, I have had epoch die on me
several times in less than a week.  (Epoch was just installed here;
prior to that I used vanilla gnu emacs.)

A backtrace from gdb claims that the core file doesn't match.  A
backtrace from dbx shows hundreds of frames of mark_object, as follows:

More (n if no)?

Any idea what might cause this?  Any patches available? Many thanks for
suggestions.
