23.0.50; Emacs server and -nw

[Markus Triska]

In an xterm, start Emacs with:

   $ emacs -nw -Q --eval "(server-start)"

In another xterm, do:

   $ emacsclient a

and it immediately asks:

   Buffer `a' still has clients; kill it? (yes or no)

This does not happen if you invoke emacsclient with the "-t" option or
emacs (built using --with-x) without the "-nw" option.

In GNU Emacs 23.0.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin8.11.1, X toolkit)
 of 2007-12-04 ...
Windowing system distributor `The X.Org Foundation', version 11.0.60802000
configured using `configure  '--with-x' '--without-carbon' '--without-tiff' '--without-gif''

This works fine with server.el version 1.136, it does not with versions
after that. 
Stefan, you made the changes in version 1.137, can you please take a
look at this?

Thanks

Does the patch below fix it?

The sequence above works, but after that doing a C-z in the "emacs -nw"
frame produces this error: "Suspending an Emacs running under X makes no sense"
