Re: gnuclient's immediate exit

The really perverse situation is that, in the -nw case of immediate
departure, XEmacs tries to retain control of the tty anyhow. I was in
fact exploiting this with "gnuclient ; sleep 1000000" so that XEmacs
didn't conflict with my shell. I suspect that a tweak to XEmacs is in
order, to force giving up control of the client tty in the case of any
gnuserv-edit-files error return.
So *thats* what I was getting screwed over with last night. I launched
a gnuclient of a file, then tried to use M-x gnus, and kept wondering why
half my keystrokes seemed to be going into a M-x shell instead - especially
since I dont USE shell mode. ;)
I even remember seeing 'image instantiator format' error one of the few
times C-x b was able to actually change buffers to the *Message log* buffer.
The running XEmacs was -b26 (a CVS pull from Jan 4), under AIX 4.3.3.
