emacs --daemon does not seem to work for me

[mwnn]

Hi,
    I am using GNU Emacs 23.1. I start the emacs daemon by executing the 
following command:
$ emacs --daemon

Then when i execute the following command:
$ emacsclient -c

An emacs frame appears and goes away in a jiffy!

Can somebody tell me what is the fix for this?

Regards,
mwnn

That doesn't work for me either.  But M-x server-start works.

$ alias emacsclient
$ which emacs ; which emacsclient

If none of those lead you to an answer, try
$ emacs -Q --daemon
and see if that works.

I have pinpointed the problem to my .emacs file. Specifically, when the 
following line is commented emacsclient works without any issues:

'(default ((t (:inherit nil :stipple nil :background "dark slate gray" 
:foreground "Wheat" :inverse-video nil :box nil :strike-through nil 
:overline nil :underline nil :slant normal :weight normal :height 96 
:width normal :foundry "unknown" :family "DejaVu Sans Mono"))))

The above code is part of "custom-set-faces". Is there something to fix 
in the code?
