bug#4001: 23.1.50; [Cocoa Emacs] emacsclient can't find server via ssh

I tried again with the following steps:

1. machine A with leopard and Cocoa Emacs, ssh login machine B with Ubuntu
2. use machine B to ssh login back to A
3. trigger emacs

I got emacs opening but also the following errors:

objc[370]: task_thread failed (result -301)

and I can do nothing on Emacs but force quit.
Hope this helps.
