[BUG?] emacs-23.1 OSX emacsclient always opens a new frame

[Mark Evenson <evenson@panix.com>]

[Using a self-compiled emacs-23.1 under i386-apple-darwin9.8.0 
configured with the '--with-ns' option.]

In migrating to emacs-23, all does not seem well with the emacsclient 
command.  My Emacs workflow is to not use frames at all.  Now, when I 
invoke 'emacsclient' on a file (without any additional flags) under OSX, 
it always opens a new frame.  Additionally, upon launch, the new frame 
presents a message of the form "Buffer 'xxx.txt' still has clients, kill 
it? (yes or no)", with the code execution seeming to be at the point 
after one issues the 'server-edit' ("C-x #") command.   It seems like 
the 'emacsclient' code doesn't really understand how to open the buffer 
in the current frame, failing to wait for the server-edit command, and 
then somehow recovering on the broken socket, but this is just a hunch.

Five minutes of glancing through 'emacsclient.c' wasn't particularly 
helpful.  But maybe my understanding of how Emacs 23 handles Frames 
needs some education.
