From: Christopher League <league <at> contrapunctus.net>
To: emacs-pretest-bug <at> gnu.org
Subject: 23.0.60; MacOS Emacs.app: emacsclient buffer killed right away
Date: Sat, 11 Jul 2009 01:31:29 -0400

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:

% /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q &
M-x server-start
% /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient  
hello.txt
Waiting for Emacs...

At this point, a new frame is created (even without the --create-frame
option). It contains the contents of hello.txt, but in the minibuffer
is the prompt: "Buffer `hello.txt' still has clients; kill it? (yes or
no)" as if we had invoked kill-buffer.

If I type no, then I can edit, save and C-x # as expected. (Although
once finished, the new frame remains.)

It gets worse if I use "emacsclient --no-wait".  In that case, the new
frame pops up, but it just contains *scratch* or *Messages*; the buffer
`hello.txt' does not exist at all. There is nothing in *Messages*
except "For information about GNU Emacs [...]".

Thanks!
Chris


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
/Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for  
instructions.
