In GNU Emacs 24.5.2 (x86_64-apple-darwin14.3.0, NS apple-appkit-1347.57) of 2015-06-10 on REDACTEDWindowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1347Configured using: `configure --with-ns'
Important settings:  value of $LANG: en_US.UTF-8  locale-coding-system: utf-8-unix
When I start NextStep graphical Emacs from the terminal by:
  ./src/emacs /tmp/foo.txt
An Emacs window opens, but all key strokes are sent to the terminal instead of Emacs. Is this a known quirk? Opening the nextstep/Emacs.app works fine, so this is not an issue in practice.
I'm filing a bug because you might want to know that Emacs crashed one time I started Emacs this way.

I don't remember what I did after starting Emacs. It's possible I did Ctrl-C, but I'm not sure.

nextstep/INSTALL says that you must assemble Emacs.app before running,
so I don't think this matters.
