Does it make sense to add features to EPIC4? There's a nasty bug in EPIC4 which causes epic to hang and spin the CPU when you resize its terminal window. Found it to be very annoying for most of my users, and required a "kill -9" to free up my CPU. Apparently, this is a known issue with the last version of epic4, the known solution is to upgrade to epic5. I did a compile-from-source of epic5 and it seems to work, though I'm a very simplistic epic user, so everything that doesn't work as I did in epic4 I'm assuming is a difference with epic5, and my "it works" consists of "it talks, it doesn't hang, and my users can resize their window without flinging profanity at me".
