Which buffer do you mean? I see this when running an update from
*Packages*. I hit "U", it starts doing its thing, and then raises these
errors from the process sentinel. The actual update/installation seems
to succeed just fine, and it goes on to update/install the next package
successfully, usually followed by this error again.
