bug#3360: 23.0.94; emacs daemon hangs when remote X session closes.

["Oscar Fuentes" <ofv@wanadoo.es>]

Start the daemon:

emacs --daemon -Q

On a remote X server, start emacs:

emacsclient -c -n -d myxserver:0

Now, if the X session crashes or the frame is closed without
explicitly requiring emacs to delete it (for instance, closing the
frame with the mouse clicking on the frame `close' button), the daemon
becomes unresponsive. This is what I see on the terminal on the next
attempt to create a new frame:

oscar@qcore:~$ emacsclient -c -n -d acer:0
emacsclient: connect: Connection refused
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor.  Please use:

        --socket-name
        --server-file      (or environment variable EMACS_SERVER_FILE)
        --alternate-editor (or environment variable ALTERNATE_EDITOR)

Same happens if you try to open a frame on the same machine where the
daemon runs. Emacs is on the list of active processes and you need to
kill it.

If a frame existed on the machine where the daemon runs, it becomes
unresponsive. Any keystroke, mouse click, etc, will produce a 100% cpu
usage for some seconds without further response from emacs.
