1> Currently, depending on the value of SERVER_HOME_DIR, server creates its pipe in /tmp or the homedir. I presume that /tmp was added for people who started multiple emacses at a time on different hosts. Unfortunately our diskless machines share /tmp. It would be better if this mode added the hostname to the pipe name. Any system with BSD pipes will have pathnames long enough to handle the catenation of uid, hostname, two dashes, and "esrv". 2> Unfortunately server.el can only gc unneeded pipes if they are in the homedir. Since there's no clean way for the elc to learn of the compile-time option of server.c and emacsclient.c, using /tmp might as well be made the default.
