       [Original message got garbled, rending...]

Hi,

        In my setup (.e.g not emacs -Q):
        
        While viewing the *Help* buffer which was the only window
        on the frame, I typed "M-x list-timers"

split-window: Window #<window 266 on *Messages*> too small for splitting

window-normalize-window: #<window 279> is not a valid window

split-window: Window #<window 505 on window.el> too small for splitting

        And again:

Features:
        Typing the command again, I got:

        Each time the buffer where the "M-x list-timers" command was
        executed was *Help* and was a single window on the frame.

g--text follows this line--

        "C-x 2" (split-window-below) works fine.

Hi,


        I then saw:


        How can I debug this?

        Thanks.
