bug#17957: 24.3.92; Bad interaction between "emacs --daemon" and "desktop-save-mode"

[Benjamin Riefenstahl]

Receipe from a command line:

  mkdir /tmp/t
  cd /tmp/t
  cat > .emacs <<EOF
    (add-to-list 'window-system-default-frame-alist '(nil . ((menu-bar-lines . 
0))))
    (desktop-save-mode 1)
  EOF
  HOME=$PWD emacs --daemon
  emacsclient -n -c

Now in Emacs execute the commands 

  desktop-save
  kill-emacs

Restart Emacs with

  HOME=$PWD emacs --daemon

The menu bar has disappeared and a get an error message:

  Error (frameset): Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil
