Yes, I understood that.  And, as I said, I couldn't reproduce the problem.  The 
rest of my comment came from an effort to understand where your error message 
came from.

server-use-tcp is a variable, not a function, so (server-use-tcp t) is not valid 
elisp.  Do you mean you customized the variable server-use-tcp?  This would yield

(custom-set-variables
[...]
  '(server-use-tcp t)
[...]

The server still creates a socket, even if it's using TCP, so this doesn't 
explain why emacsclient can't find the socket.

No, I customized server-use-tcp to t, and I still can't reproduce the problem. 
Is there something else in your .emacs that could be causing this?  Have you 
tried starting the daemon with 'emacs --daemon -Q' to test this?

If you've installed the emacs-debuginfo package, you could try running emacs 
under gdb.  And you should run 'emacs -Q' to make sure the problem isn't 
triggered by something in your init files.
