This looks like a serious bug that needs to be addressed.  Does anyone
have a clue about how to fix/debug this?

1) start emacs with "emacs -q -f server-start &"
2) export VISUAL="emacsclient -t"
2) less .bashrc
3) within less type "v" to edit file with $VISUAL 

the result is that less writes a line 
"!emacsclient -t +18 .bashrc" on the terminal, but other than that the 
terminal is still showing the output of less. emacsclient 
is not taking over the terminal, and no editing is possible. 

Using "ps auxw" in another terminal, emacsclient appears in the
process list, though.  The only thing I can do in the "less terminal"
is to type "C-c" to resume viewing the .bashrc file.

The problem seems to be specific to "emacsclient -t", since both
export VISUAL="emacsclient -c"
and 
export VISUAL="emacs -nw"
work as expected.

The same problem occurs in both xterm and konsole.
