Would you try something for me please?
Run (server-start) in a running emacs then set EDITOR=emacsclient
and try editing your crontab. The file to be edited should pop
up in your emacs. Edit it then do C-x# when you are done.
Emacsclient will exit, but not emacs. I am curious what happens
to the parent process in this case...
