What is emacs-start, and where is it defined?
(Really, Lennart, you, of all the people, should have known how to
make a proper bug report!)

M-x apropos-documentation RET leave-dead RET
server-start
Command: Allow this Emacs process to be a server for client processes.
This starts a server communications subprocess through which
client "editors" can send your editing commands to this Emacs job.
To use the server, set up the program `emacsclient' in the
Emacs distribution as your standard "editor".
Prefix arg means just kill any existing server communications subprocess.
(fn &optional LEAVE-DEAD)
It is somewhat amusing that the function is called "server-start"
rather than "emacs-start" and that the meaning of a prefix argument is
explained in the DOC string.
Let is just assume that Lennart wanted to pretest our abilities to
deal with unfathomable bug reports.

Thanks, I fixed that.

Obviously, I failed that test quite miserably.
