bug#549: emacsclient or emacsclientw not waiting in Windows

[Vesa Suontama]

Hi,

I have a Windows Vista SP1, and when using emacsclient or emacsclientw, they always return immediately with return value 1, and do not wait making it useless as EDITOR for command line utilities which should wait.

I use the emacsclient from cmd.exe and not from cygwin. I also started emacs with –q, and started server manually after that, so no startup file should be causing this.

Is this a known issue?

Otherwise I love emacs :)
