So now we know that the error is caused by creation of the vertical
scrollbar.

Error code 4 is BadPixmap, according to my references.  I hope some X
expert will chime in and tell why this happens.  (I actually don't
understand why we try to create the scroll bar when the frame is
iconified.)

Thanks.

bug#23499: 24.5; emacs --daemon hangs randomly when emacsclient -c used repeatedly

[Robert Lange]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 422 bytes --]

After further experimentation, this bug occurs only if the emacs process that launched the daemon is non-graphical (e.g., `emacs --daemon` or `emacs -nw -f server-start`) and the emacsclient is graphical (e.g., `emacsclient -c`).

If the emacs server process is graphical (e.g., `emacs -f server-start`) this bug does not manifest.

If the emacsclient is non-graphical (e.g., `emacsclient -t`) this bug does not manifest.

bug#23499: 24.5; emacs --daemon hangs randomly when emacsclient -c used repeatedly

[Robert Lange]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 13069 bytes --]

New experiment (still using vanilla GNU Emacs 24.5.1 with Lucid in GDB) appears to show that the problem is the scroll bar.

Long story short, if I set `scroll-bar-mode` to `nil` in my emacs config, I can happily create and destroy emacsclient all day long without upsetting the daemon.

See below for the details:

gdb ./emacs
 (gdb) run -Q -nw -f server-start

In another terminal:

emacsclient -c -n

`-n` makes the terminal return as soon as emacsclient is launched, so we have to manually close and relaunch. After 5-10 tries it will hang, but now the stacktrace we get is slightly different:

bug#23499: 24.5; emacs --daemon hangs randomly when emacsclient -c used repeatedly

[Robert Lange]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 10859 bytes --]

As stated in the title, I have been trying to use Emacs in daemon mode, however after a number of invocations of `emacsclient -c` the emacs daemon process hangs (not crashes) and I have to manually kill it.

I use Emacs (Lucid toolkit) on Debian Jessie at home and Ubuntu 14.04 at work. I experience the problem on both distributions using the distribution packages. I have compiled and debugged against the latest unmodified tarball of Emacs from GNU just to ensure that there were no distribution-specific patches causing the problem.

My problem is very similar to emacs bug #5802, except that bug was "fixed" by switching to use Emacs compiled with the Lucid toolkit, whereas my bug is still present even in Lucid.

To replicate:

Compile the latest GNU 24.5.1 source tarball using:

CFLAGS='-O0 -g3' ./configure --enable-checking='yes,glyphs' --enable-check-lisp-object-type --with-x-toolkit=lucid
make
cd src/
gdb ./emacs
 (gdb) run -Q -nw -f server-start

In a separate terminal:

x=0; while emacsclient -c; do x=$(( $x + 1 )); done; echo "Created $x windows before crash."

Close each Emacs client window after it appears. Eventually (it seems to average about 5 tries) Emacs will hang with a partially-drawn window. No interaction with the UI is possible. At that point in another terminal I execute:

ps -ef | grep emacs
kill -TSTP <emacs pid>

Returning to the original terminal containing GDB, I now execute:

bt

And get this output:

This is some kind of X error.  Please run the daemon in X synchronous
mode (etc/DEBUG tells how to do that), and repeat the experiment.
Then the X error should be triggered immediately by whatever operation
errors out, and we will see a more helpful backtrace.  In that case,
please tell what the value of X error is.

I checked in a fix for this in current master which should eventually
become Emacs 26.1.  Could you try it?
