[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I am using emacs in server mode on a remote machine. The intent is to
have a persistent emacs session that I can reconnect to.

Here are the steps I typically do:
% ssh <machine>
% tmux attach (This step doesn't seem important. I've tried this with and
without tmux).
% emacs --daemon
% emacsclient -n -c
% tmux detach
% exit

At this point the server is toast.

I am using cygwin on Windows 7 for the ssh client and X server. I have
also tried emacs 24.5 with no success. I have tried multiple X tool kits
(athena and motif) with no success.

Can you attach GDB to the daemon before the final step, and when it
crashes (or exits or aborts or whatever), produce a backtrace and post
it here?

One more thing to try is the latest emacs-25 branch, if you can build
it or get a hold of snapshot binaries somewhere.

Thanks.

Eli,

Sure. I'll give it a try tonight and send you the results. A few more
details that may help:

1. The exit command hangs. I typically have to use Ctrl-C. This only
happens if I've opened emacsclient with X forwarding. I suspect the server
still has an open connection over ssh, but this isn't really an area I know
much about.
2. I exit the emacs client with C-x C-c. Sometimes I just put the laptop to
sleep without closing emacs or the terminal. Both have the same results.
3. This was working for a while. I don't believe anything has changed since
it stopped working, but it's possible. Right now I can reproduce the crash
every time.

Looks like thread 3, which runs some Glib code, deliberately killed
the entire process by raising SIGTERM.

And why do you use Ctrl-C to interrupt ssh?

How do you exit?  What do you type to exit?

I just type exit. I have also tried logout.

To the shell, after you already exited emacsclient frame?
