bug#3819: 23.0.60; MacOS Emacs.app: emacsclient buffer killed right away

[Christopher League]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the emacs-pretest-bug@gnu.org  
mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

% /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q &
M-x server-start
% /Applications/MacPorts/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/bin/emacsclient  
hello.txt
Waiting for Emacs...

At this point, a new frame is created (even without the --create-frame
option). It contains the contents of hello.txt, but in the minibuffer
is the prompt: "Buffer `hello.txt' still has clients; kill it? (yes or
no)" as if we had invoked kill-buffer.

If I type no, then I can edit, save and C-x # as expected. (Although
once finished, the new frame remains.)

It gets worse if I use "emacsclient --no-wait".  In that case, the new
frame pops up, but it just contains *scratch* or *Messages*; the buffer
`hello.txt' does not exist at all. There is nothing in *Messages*
except "For information about GNU Emacs [...]".

Thanks!
Chris

That is rather old, and there have been a lot of changes since then.
Can you try the 23.0.96 pretest available from

http://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/

Indeed it works as expected in 23.0.96. Sorry for the noise. I may  
track CVS more closely until the 23 release.
