# note: starting emacs server can hang due to errors in init files
# which don't cause problems for non-server emacs. And things
# that aren't errors can cause hang too, like when I added gnus
# git to load path.

# I was experimenting with running
# under gdb always to diagnose any hangs/crashes
# and it won't work due to a gdb crash:
# gdb -ex="set follow-fork-mode child" -ex=r -ex=quit --args emacsclient -nc
# -n = --no-wait, go into background
# -c = create new frame instead of reusing the current frame
# -a = alternate editor, empty string makes it start emacs daemon.
# This is also set via env variable, but that doesn't propagate everywhere.
