(I'm going through old bug reports that have unfortunately not gotten
any responses.)

I tried this in Emacs 27, and I was unable to reproduce it.

I did:

$ emacs -Q
`M-x server-start'
$ emacsclient /tmp/foo
`M-x outline-mode'

(I got the outline menu.)

`M-x server-start'

It prompts me to whether to shut down the server, and I say yes.  The
outline menu remains in the buffer.

If you're still seeing this, how do you reproduce the bug?
