I don't think I have any hooks that would run when the client frame
opens.

I didn't notice anything going on in the background.  I probably had an
asynchronous shell command running ("tail -f /var/log/syslog"), though I
don't understand why that could cause a window to be deleted.

If something like this happens again, I'll look more closely at what
Emacs might have been doing at the time of the crash.

thanks,
