23.1.91; emacsclient -c not working on windows |

Running emacsclientw.exe does not behave as expected on windows.
The command that I am attempting to run is:
emacsclientw.exe -c FILE
The behavior I expect is for the file to be opened in a new frame.
The actual behavior is to open the buffer in an existing frame (if
present).
In the windows environmental variables I have set:
ALTERNATE_EDITOR=C:\Programs\text\emacs\bin\runemacs.exe
In my .emacs file I have added:
(server-start)
Here is the behavior that I have observed:
1. Emacs is not running.
"emacsclientw.exe -c", starts emacs as expected.
2. Emacs running with an existing frame.
"emacsclientw.exe -c", nothing happens.
"emacscilentw.exe FILE", file is opened in an existing frame.
"emacscilentw.exe -c FILE", nothing happens, the file is not opened.
"emacscilentw.exe -c -n FILE", file is opened in the existing frame
(new frame expected).
If I open up a windows command prompt (cmd.exe) and type
"emacscilent -c [-n]" I get the following error:
*ERROR*: Not using an ASCII terminal now; cannot make a new ASCII frame
This error is not displayed with emacscilentw, otherwise the behavior
is the same.
If I run the commands from a cygwin xterm terminal (instead of using the
windows terminal), then both emacsclient.exe and emacsclientw.exe work
as expected. No errors are reported. Note that this is a normal
windows installation of emacs, NOT a cygwin installation.
I have tested this with emacs-23.1.0 and emacs-23.1.91.

I fixed this in emacsclient.c with trunk bzr revno 104876.
