Hi all,

repro steps:

1. runemacs -Q
2. <C-x f> <%
3. type some text into new document
4.<C-x k>

error: "kill-buffer: Not enough arguments for format string"

I'm using window native CVS build from early 2011.

With the current trunk, what I see is:

runemacs -Q
C-x C-f <% <RET>  => "(New file)"
; type some text
C-x k <RET>   => "Buffer <% modified; kill anyway? (yes or no)"
yes <RET>

and the buffer is deleted.

And I see the same with Emacs 23.3, the latest released version.

So I guess we can close this bug, unless Le Wang shows us how to
reproduce this in the latest versions.

You're both right.  I upgraded to NTEmacs 2011/4/11 build, and can't
repro it any more.  Emacs 23.2.1. can't repro either.  Seems it was
transient in the trunk.

Please close the bug.
