When I start NextStep graphical Emacs from the terminal by:
./src/emacs /tmp/foo.txt
An Emacs window opens, but all key strokes are sent to the terminal instead of Emacs. Is this a known quirk? Opening the nextstep/Emacs.app works fine, so this is not an issue in practice.
I'm filing a bug because you might want to know that Emacs crashed one time I started Emacs this way.

I don't remember what I did after starting Emacs. It's possible I did Ctrl-C, but I'm not sure.
