Package: emacs23
Version: 23.1+1-5
Severity: normal

Steps to reproduce:

 - on a terminal:         emacs -q &
 - in emacs' X frame:     M-x server-start<RET>
 - in the terminal again: emacsclient -t foo
 -                        then type some letters into the "foo" buffer without 
saving it
 -                        C-x # (server-edit)
 -                        answer 'n' to the question "Save file /home/user/foo? 
(y or n)"
 - in emacs' X frame:     the question "Buffer foo modified; kill anyway? (yes 
or no)" appears

In certain circumstances (e.g. when logged in over ssh) this would cause emacs 
to block for me.

To reproduce this behaviour, go to the terminal and simply type:

emacsclient -n -t -e '(y-or-n-p "Should I block?")'

This will cause any subsequent emacsclient -t to stop accepting input, after 
opening the frame on a tty.

As soon as any character is entered in the X frame, the tty frames will accept 
input again,
but that might be difficult to achieve over ssh: I occasionally had to connect 
to my home box
with vnc to unstick my emacs.
