Fix the case when emacsclient is run on Emacs's controlling tty. src/term.c (O_NOCTTY): Make sure it's defined. (no_controlling_tty): New variable. (init_initial_display, mark_ttys): Remove unused variable. (term_init): Check that the given filename is a terminal device. Dissociate the controlling terminal if we reopen it for other purposes. (Reported by Dan Nicolaescu <dann at ics dot uci dot edu>. (Fdelete_tty): Return nil. git-archimport-id: [e-mail]--2004/emacs--multi-tty--0--patch-72

 simultaneous X and tty frame support works fine.  Emacsclient has been
 extended to support opening a new terminal frame.

+HOW TO COMPILE AND TEST
+-----------------------
 
 To try it out, compile and run the multi-tty branch with the following
 commands:
 
    	mkdir +build
 	cd +build
-	../configure
+	../configure <your favourite options>
 	make bootstrap
 	src/emacs -nw		# You can also try without -nw
 	M-x server-start
 
 and then (from a shell prompt on another terminal) start emacsclient
 with
-
 	lib-src/emacsclient -t /optional/file/names...
 
 You'll hopefully have two fully working, independent frames on
