I am using the emacsclient and emacsserver programs to use emacs as a
text server.  We recently changed architectures, so consequently I had
to get new versions of the software.  I have noticed one annoying 
difference that I would like to get solved:

Before the switch, I could have as many text server buffers as I needed, 
without having to kill any of the other active text server buffers.

Now, after the switch, It seems I can only have ONE text server buffer
at a time.  This means that I must kill whatever is currently in the
text server buffer before the next client can activate.

I run everything without any flags, so if there is a flag that needs to be
set, I would love to know.

Thanks

This is true if the next client edits a file using the same name and path as
the first.  If it chooses a different name, both buffers can co-exist.

Once the Emacs edit session in the server buffer is completed, I see no reason
to save the server buffer any more.  The variable server-temp-file-regexp (in
Emacs 19.xx) allows you to identify which buffers are known to be created by
the server and are to be deleted automatically after the server is done with
them. 

  server-temp-file-regexp

  Documentation:
  *Regexp which should match filenames of temporary files
  which are deleted and reused after each edit
  by the programs that invoke the emacs server.

Hope this helps.
