Actually I don't think there is a buffer. I seem to remember that the
init file is loaded using `load', and that doesn't need a buffer, it's
a built-in function. A call to `current-buffer' would probably return
whatever buffer was active at the moment, so that would be *scratch*,
or maybe not (if the init file creates a buffer somehow, like a call to
(calendar) would).
But I'm No Expert(tm).
