So maybe rather than load the init file, we wan to use SIGUSR1 cause
Emacs to read ~/.emacs.d/sigusr1.el ?

PS: FWIW, when this happens, I use gdb to attach to the process
and "call (intern ("server-mode"));" from there.
[ This said, it doesn't happen often, because I do enable `server-mode`
in my init file. ]
