This problem is known to Sun and the solution was published in Sun's
Software Technical Bulletin of either March or April 1990.

In src/config.h add the line

#define SYSTEM_MALLOC

I had the same problem and this fixed it.  NOTE: I am now running
Epoch-3.2b and I noticed that I did NOT include this define in
src/config.h for epoch yet epoch built and runs fine.
