I think that's correct, and I agree that there should be a much simpler 
fix.  I'll have to look into the code and try to understand better 
exactly what happens when emacs is started as a daemon and then a client 
frame is opened and closed.

I'll hold off on installing my patch until I see if I can find a better 
solution that is still safe enough for the branch.
