is not a member of a specific blog

 When loading an author template, WordPress should check against current
 users. If the author isn't valid, load 404 template.

 If it's a multisite, WordPress should check the passed author slug against
 current users of the blog -- not all registered users of the network.

 To replicate the issue, do the following:

 1. Create a WordPress multisite environment.
 2. Create a test blog and at least two users (User A and User B).
 3. Add User A to your test blog.
 4. In your browser's URL bar, type http://yourtestblogurl.com/author/userb
 5. Observe how user User B's profile information appears on the author
 page, even though User B is not a user of that specific blog.

 Again, the ideal solution when loading author templates for a multisite
 network would be to check to see if a user is a current member of a given
 blog (and not the entire network).
