Flymaking just deleted buffer throws exception

[Johan Lindström]

I have flymake enabled for Perl. I open a file, then immediately kill
the buffer (while a flymake is run in the background).

This leads to the following error being displayed in the
echo area:

error in process filter: save-current-buffer: Selecting deleted buffer
error in process filter: Selecting deleted buffer


If I have "M-x toggle-debug-on-error", this stack trace is triggered:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Selecting deleted buffer")
  set-buffer(#<killed buffer>)
  (save-current-buffer (set-buffer source-buffer) 
(flymake-parse-output-and-residual output))
  (with-current-buffer source-buffer 
(flymake-parse-output-and-residual output))
  (progn (with-current-buffer source-buffer 
(flymake-parse-output-and-residual output)))
  (if source-buffer (progn (with-current-buffer source-buffer ...)))
  (when source-buffer (with-current-buffer source-buffer 
(flymake-parse-output-and-residual output)))
  (let ((source-buffer ...)) (flymake-log 3 "received %d byte(s) of 
output from process %d" (length output) (process-id process)) (when 
source-buffer (with-current-buffer source-buffer ...)))
  flymake-process-filter(#<process flymake-proc> "Terminating on 
signal SIGHUP(1)\n")


A buffer-live-p check before doing things to the buffer may be appropriate.

This is for flymake 0.3 which I believe is part of GNU Emacs nowadays 
(otherwise, sorry for the bug spam).
