     When I call up the calendar function in horizontal split mode, The

This is very weird ... just as I was about to post an note about
something screwy that jut happened to me, this message shows up at the
same time.  
 
I am in GNU Emacs 18.50.2 of Sun Oct 30 1988 on imagine.pawl.rpi.edu
(berkeley-unix), Sun 3/50. (18.53 should hopefully be on our machines
RSN.)  
 
I was going about my normal Emacs life today when I killed a window;
it was replaced by #<buffer  *Minibuf-0*>, which is the minibuffer.
The window was in Fundamental mode (my default is text-mode) and it
could not be killed with kill-buffer.  current-buffer returned the
above result, but it did not show up in buffer-menu-mode.
 
I have no idea what caused it or whether it is reproducible.  It might
be just a fluke of nature, but has anyone else seen that happen?
