bug#12780: Starting emacs as a daemon, and requesting a client with -n

[Justin Wood]

For the past month or so, when compiling from the latest source, I have

been having an issue starting Emacs as a daemon (emacs --daemon) and

requesting a client with "emacsclient -c -n". If I include the "-n"

option, nothing appears to happen, though, if I request a client with

just "-c", a new frame does appear.

In GNU Emacs 24.2.50.1 (i386-apple-darwin12.2.0, NS apple-appkit-1187.34)
