I'm logged into an X session as user1.
From the xterm associated with /dev/pts/12, I do:
user1> su - user2
user2> emacs -Q -nw
That works fine. Then I exit that Emacs and do:
user2> emacs -Q -f server-start & # works fine
user2> emacsclient -c # works fine
user2> emacsclient -t
*ERROR*: Could not open file: /dev/pts/12
(and indeed user2 does not have permissions for this file)
user2> emacsclient -t
This second attempt kills Emacs with a segfault.
