emacsclient almost working!

hi, all.  i'm thrilled to see that - in emacs 23.0.60, debian
"emacs-snapshot" from a few days ago - i can use emacsclient to get a tty
frame connected to a X-based emacs session!  yay, yay, yay!  i had to poke
and prod a bit to get it to work, though, and am wondering whether this is a
known problem.

specifically, if i just do

  emacsclient --tty

i get an assertion error:

  *ERROR*: Assertion failed: (eq (match-end 0) (length string))

i avoid that error by inhibiting the shell environment (and adding back the
TERM setting):

  env -i TERM=xterm emacsclient --tty

(spelunking a tiny bit through the operation, it looks like my elaborate
shell environment, with numerous multi-line shell functions, may be
thwarting server.el server-process-filter.  it may be something else in the
environment, though.)

looks like emacsclient is a bit too sensitive to environment settings.

it sure is nice to use the multi-tty support, though!!
