loading new files in nano-2.3.0 messes up terminal

looks like another debugging message is sent to stderr when loading files that 
dont yet exist (multibuffer support is enabled)

to reproduce:
 - run nano
 - hit CTRL+R (to load a new file into a new buffer)
 - type in the name of a file that doesnt exist
 - see the screen get messed up due to debugging message

Hey Mike,

I'm not seeing this currently, but I'm guessing it's a problem with
libmagic.  Can you capture the output of stderr during your session so
I can verify this?  I'm guessing the error message will be "something
went wrong: <something>"

inserting a file named "f" shows this at the bottom:
File to insert into new buffer [from ./] : fsomething went wrong: cannot stat 
`f' (No such file or directory) [f]

Re: loading new files in nano-2.3.0 messes up terminal

I should have noticed that a lot sooner, apologies and thank you for the extra
details!  I put in a check by stat()ing the file first in r4540, I
think this should
DTRT now.
