However, my attempts are frustrated by the fact that when I use "emacsclient -c" to create a new window in an exising emacs session, emacs crashes about 1 in 5 times. It seems completely random. Here's what I've been using to reproduce this: x=0; emacs23 -Q --daemon &>/dev/null; while emacsclient -c &>/dev/null; do x=$(( $x + 1 )); done; echo "Created $x windows before crash." That will start the daemon, and then keep spawning new emacs windows as long as the daemon is running. Just keep closing the windows, and new ones will pop up. Every time I do this command, I get a different number of windows before emacs crashes. On my last five tries, I have gotten 7, 17, 12, 18, and 24 windows. Hence my claim of randomness.
