Subject: bug#14124: 24.2; follow-mode breaks emacs' server instance
Date: Tue, 02 Apr 2013 14:11:41 +0100

 Description
-------------

Emacs's server instance breaks if follow-mode is enabled. Once
follow-mode is enabled attempting to invoke,

        $ emacsclient -n foo.c -a zile

results in neither emacs' currently active server receiving the request
to visit file `foo.c' nor zile being opened.


 Recipe
-------------

1) Start emacs with no site file

        $ emacs -Q

2) Inside emacs:
2.1) Start a server instance

        M-x server-start

2.2) Switch to follow-mode

        M-x follow-mode

3) Visit a file from the shell

        $ emacsclient -n foo.c -a zile


 Result
-------------

After step 3 is executed nothing happens and emacsclient simply hangs.
Only solution is to restart the server but as soon follow-mode is 
re-enabled emacsclient hangs again.
