 Say I try to visit: `http://my.blog.tld/non-existent-slug/`, (where non-
 existent-slug is not a valid slug) I get a the normal 404 template.

 However, if I try to visit `http://my.blog.tld/non-existent-slug/feed/`,
 then the response is a bit weird. A 404 response header is sent but the
 content is nonetheless sent through the feed template. And so you get
 something like this:

 {{{
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><rss version="0.92">
 <channel>
   <title>A Sandbox &#187; Page not found</title>
   <link>http://my.blog.tld</link>
   <description>Just another WordPress weblog</description>
   <lastBuildDate>Mon, 19 Apr 2010 11:17:05 +0000</lastBuildDate>
   <docs>http://backend.userland.com/rss092</docs>
   <language>en</language>
   <!-- generator="WordPress/3.0-beta1" -->
 </channel>
 </rss>
 }}}

 Assuming this isn't intentional (I can't think why it would be), this
 should be changed so that the content is the normal 404 template.
