Subject: bug#65005: server hangs forever if not properly initialized
Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2023 18:24:35 -0500
[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
server-start fails to start, with the message:

apply: Cannot bind server socket: No such file or directory

To reproduce:

1. Kill any existing emacs-server
2. Rename or delete $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/emacs
3. Execute server-start


The problem is that the directory specified in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR existed, but
with no emacs subdirectory. I do believe that emacs ought simply create the
directory
