Is this a bug? (buffer getting killed when I close emacsclient with C-x # and reopen)

Is this a bug? (buffer getting killed when I close emacsclient with C-x # and reopen)

[Sampath Weerasinghe]

I have emacs started as a daemon and use emacsclient to connect to it. I primary use emacsclient inside the OS X terminal with the -nw option.

The specfic command i use is: /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient /tmp/foo -nw -c -s /tmp/emacs501/work_guigo

So I have two files in /tmp/, named foo and baa. In my terminal.app, I open foo with /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient /tmp/foo -nw -c -s /tmp/emacs501/work_guigo

Emacs tells me, "When done with a buffer, type C-x #", so I do that. I'm done with it for now, but I'm not done with it for today, so I want the foo file to remain in my "C-x b" buffers list.

So I'm back in the terminal, I open baa with /Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient /tmp/baa -nw -c -s /tmp/emacs501/work_guigo

Now when I do a C-x b, I don't see foo in the list of open buffers.

Is this a bug?

See the variables server-kill-new-buffers and server-temp-file-regexp.
