Subject: 23.0.60; emacsclient returns immediately without opening a frame
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2008 09:01:51 +0100

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Since I updated my emacs copy yesterday evening (CET), emacsclient
returns immediately and no frame is opened.  Here's a recipe:

╭─[horn <at> thinkpad]─[~]─[0]─[5858]
╰─[:)] % emacs --daemon -Q
("emacs" "-Q")
Starting Emacs daemon.
╭─[horn <at> thinkpad]─[~]─[0]─[5859]
╰─[:)] % emacsclient -c             # Nothing happens
╭─[horn <at> thinkpad]─[~]─[1]─[5860]
╰─[:(] % emacsclient -t             # Nothing happens
╭─[horn <at> thinkpad]─[~]─[1]─[5861]
╰─[:(] % emacsclient .emacs         # Nothing happens

The same happens if I start a "normal" emacs and execute `server-start'
in it.

The change introducing that must have been checked in in the last 2
days.  With my previous copy it did work as expected.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/usr/share/emacs/23.0.60/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Please try again after updating from CVS. emacsclient.c had a pretty
busy day yesterday.
