Sorry, I just noticed that the code that you moved was executed
in the *Backtrace* buffer because it was after the pop-to-buffer
call.  Now code such as `(count-lines (point-min) (point-max))'
is executed in another buffer before the pop-to-buffer call.

Adding 'display-buffer-at-bottom' would be good.
Customizing get-mru-window over get-lru-window would
be good too, I remember you already sent a patch for that ;)
