> The following steps reproduce this:
> - Make sure /tmp/tmp does not exist
> - Open a buffer /tmp/tmp/foo.txt
> - Make some changes to the buffer.
> - Do *not* save the buffer or create the directory /tmp/tmp/
> - Create /tmp/tmp as a *file* (not a directory)
> - Try to kill the buffer.
>
> You will see the following error message:
>
> Unlocking file: Not a directory, /tmp/tmp/foo.txt
>
> I just want to kill the buffer, I don't want to save it.
>
> This is easily rectified by just deleting / moving away /tmp/tmp, but it
> seems like this could be resolved to just delete the buffer.
