Also, if you try this:

  emacs -Q
  C-x C-f /some/non-existent/file RET

then insert some text and click File->Quit, then selecting "Close
without saving" will still pop up an additional dialog asking whether
to exit although modified buffers exist.  But "Close without saving"
was supposed to have already answered that question.
