Hm, yes...   The behavioural change would be if you already have two
frames open, with the buffer showing in a window on frame A, but frame B
currently has focus, then "emacsclient test.txt" would pop up that
buffer in frame B, too.

So the 0 should be there in the "emacsclient test.txt" case, but not in
the "emacsclient -c test.txt" (and -t) cases.  I'll see if I can come up
with a fix...
