bug#17847: 24.3; Emacsclient hang/crash

[Robert Horn]

Minimal test:

1. Start emacs --daemon -Q -s test
2. Start emacsclient --alternate-editor="" -c -s test
3. Exit emacsclient with c-X 5 0
4. Repeat 2. and 3. until fail (3-6 tries typically)

Failure is a momentary appearance of the X-window frame for the
emacsclient.  After it is gone, the emacs daemon has also exited.  

Related test:
1. Start emacs --daemon -s test   (full startup with configuration
indicated below).
2., 3., 4. the same

Failure is creation of the X-window frame with full decoration, but no
emacs contents.  Frame is not responsive to input.  Killing the
emacsclient (SIGKILL) removes frame, but leaves daemon in a mode where
all subsequent emacsclient fail the same way.  Killing the emacsclient,
then using emacsclient with "-t" instead of "-c" works properly, and
recovers daemon.  Subsequent emacsclient -c work for 3-5 tries.

Window environment is windowmaker version 0.95.4 on X.org X server 1.13.2.

I'm not sure what steps will provide further useful information.  Since
I'm using emacsclient merely because I have a habit of exiting emacs
windows rather than closing them, I'm trying to break that habit and
closing the window rather than exiting emacs.  emacsclient merely avoids
the long startup delay on a busy system.
