bug#4121: 23.1; "emacsclient -c <file>" woes "emacs --daemon"

[Holger Schurig]

It's too easy to kill an emacs-server. Consider this sequence:

$ emacs -Q --daemon
$ emacsclient -c file
C-c C-x     -- or --  C-c #
$ emacsclient -c a
emacsclient: connect: Connection refused
emacsclient: No socket or alternate editor.  Please use:

The effect doesn't happen if I omit the "-c" option from emacsclient.

Unfortunately, without the "-c" option I'll get a text only (tty) client
and not a graphical one.
