bug#7416: 23.2.90; emacsclient

[Francis Wright]

This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,

not to your local site managers!

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers

usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

 

Your report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list

and the gnu.emacs.bug news group, and at http://debbugs.gnu.org.

 

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug

and the precise symptoms of the bug.  If you can, give

a recipe starting from `emacs -Q':

 

With emacs *not* running, open a normal command shell window.

I used cmd.exe on Windows 7 for this test. Check that the right version

of emacsclient is being run, then run it with emacs still *not* running:

 

C:\Users\fjw>emacsclient -v

emacsclient 23.2.90

 

C:\Users\fjw>emacsclient -a runemacs foo

emacsclient: connect: No connection could be made because the target

machine actively refused it.

 

The problem is the error/warning message that this produces. I don't

think it happened in emacs 23.2. It's more of a problem when using

emacsclientw, because that puts up a dialogue box containing the

message. Once I acknowledge that, emacs opens. Surely, when an

alternative editor is specified, there is no need for the warning,

especially with emacsclientw.

 

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,

please include the output from the following gdb commands:

    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.

For information about debugging Emacs, please read the file

c:/Emacs/emacs-23.2.90/etc/DEBUG.
