[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

After typing `emacsclient -t <filename>' where <filename> doesn't have a read permission for user,
I stop seeing the text I am typing in a terminal, also broken formatting of output text.
`stty sane' fixes that.

I believe this problem is already indirectly solved on the master
branch, since we now visit the file before creating the frame.  What I
see here with the master branch code is an error message saying
"*ERROR*: File is not readable: FILE", and the client exits without
leaving the terminal in a messed-up state.

Would it be possible for you to try the master branch and see if it
indeed solves the problem?

Thanks.
