starting emacsclient with emacs --daemon

[J. David Boyd]

For years, I've started emacs with the --daemon option.   Then I've been able
to start emacsclient with
emacsclient -c -n, and got a new empty window to use as I please.

Sometime in the not too distant past, this changed.  If I run
emacsclient -c -n, a window opens, then closes immediately.

Have I missed a note in "what's new" somewhere about changed functionality?

Or has my memory totally gone belly up?

Now I've been using

emacsclient -c

to get a window to open, and do what I want, but that still leaves the
terminal locked.
