>From bug 427:

> 1) start emacs with "emacs -q -f server-start &"
> 2) export VISUAL="emacsclient -t"
> 2) less .bashrc
> 3) within less type "v" to edit file with $VISUAL 
>
> the result is that less writes a line "!emacsclient -t +18 .bashrc" on
> the terminal, but other than that the terminal is still showing the
> output of less. emacsclient is not taking over the terminal, and no
> editing is possible.

This looks like a serious bug that needs to be addressed.  Does anyone
have a clue about how to fix/debug this?
