Fetching a url with url-retrieve can reult in an anrbitrary buffer
being killed if a 401 (or possibly a 407) result is encountered:
-url-http-parse-headers calls url-http-handle-authentication,
-which can call url-retrieve.
-
-This results in the current buffer being killed, and a new http buffer
-being generated. However, when the old http buffer is killed, emacs
-picks the top buffer from the list as the new current buffer, so by the
-time we get to the end of url-http-parse-headers, _that_ buffer is marked
-as dead even though it is not necessarily a url buffer, so next time the
-url libraries reap their dead buffers, an innocent bystander buffer is

A possible fix (which I am currently using) is to call set-buffer
(set-buffer (url-http-handle-authentication nil)))
etc ....

A fix would be to somehow disable handling of display properties if an error
is encountered.
