Actually, there's a race condition that I have been unable to track down. When gnuclient starts a fresh XEmacs, it currently waits 3 seconds before sending XEmacs a message because XEmacs can get confused if the gnuclient command arrives too early on stdin from gnuserv. I think your setup requires a longer wait. If I knew what the actual race condition is, I would track it down and squish it. Setting a wait timeout was the easier (if less robust) path to take. I could: a) do nothing b) increase the timeout c) make the timeout configurable via a command line parameter d) find the real bug. I haven't had much luck with this approach. Let me know what you think. In any case I'll release a new setup kit replacing the reference to the testing directory - please let me know your preference around the race condition mentioned above.
