 Loading /author/username will return a 404 if author has no posts. It is
 desirable to show something, in my case, author profiles and let
 author.php decide what to do if the author has 0 posts.

 Rewrote handle_404() to...

  if ( (0 == count($wp_query->posts)) &&
 (!isset($wp_query->query_vars['cat']) || $wp_query->query_vars['cat']== 0)
 && (!isset($wp_query->query_vars['author']) ||
 $wp_query->query_vars['author'] == 0)  && !is_404() && !is_search() && (
 $this->did_permalink || (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']) && (false ===
 strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?'))) ) ) {

 Note this includes patches from  Trac #1969 (Check for category and author
 page existence) and also solves final comment by _ck_.
