Emacs sends an inappropriate warning message when trying to 
find a file that isn't on the hardrive but is the filename of 
a buffer, thus somehow "existing" in Emacs.

To reproduce the problem:

emacs -Q
C-x f ~/foo.txt
C-x b bar
C-x f ~/foo.txt

  => File no longer exists!

I suggest simply removing this warning is such a case.
