If the server isn't running,
perhaps "Success" should be changed:
emacsclient: can't stat /tmp/esrv1000-jidanni.org: Success

Annoyed by the word "Success" in times of failure,
young Dan writes the pros, who respond:

Must be a linux thing. I'll CC debian.

Experiment: create an account, say z, and
$ su - z
z@jidanni:~$ emacsclient zzzzzzz
emacsclient: can't stat /tmp/esrv1002-jidanni.org: Success
z@jidanni:~$ emacsclient --version
emacsclient 21.3

The code as such is there; the "can't stat" message is still there in 
<http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/emacs/emacs/lib-src/emacsclient.c>
but I can't quickly figure out under what conditions errno will be 0,
resulting in the "Success" from strerror().
