attempt to kill non-existant buffer leads to error

[Robert J. Chassell]

Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Thu, 2005 Oct  6  14:28 UTC
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.101 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.6.10)
started with

     /usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q -D

when there is no *info* buffer,

    (kill-buffer "*info*")

causes an error to be signaled.  You are taken to the *Backtrace*
buffer where you see this message:

    Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "No buffer named *info*")
      kill-buffer("*info*")
      eval((kill-buffer "*info*"))
      eval-last-sexp-1((4))
      eval-last-sexp((4))
      call-interactively(eval-last-sexp)

However, in GNU Emacs 20.7.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit) the
following message is presented in the echo area and in the *Messages*
buffer:

    No buffer named *info*

which is correct.  No error is generated.
