Subject: 30.0.50; thread_check_current_buffer
Date: Sat, 05 Aug 2023 14:51:26 +0200

This test fails

(ert-deftest tmp-buf ()
  (let (buf)
    (with-temp-buffer
      (setq buf (current-buffer))
      (make-thread (lambda ())))
    (should-not (buffer-live-p buf))))

when executed with

  emacs -Q --batch -l tmp-buf.el -f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit

The reason seems to be, that thread_check_current_buffer returns true
and hence kill_buffer simply returns without doing anything.

I don't understand why this check is there, but it's quite annoying in
practice.  E.g. ert--run-test-internal uses with-temp-buffer too, so if
make-thread is used in a test, the temporary buffers will hang around
and pile up.
