Such code should get fixed in order to not rely on the heuristics of any
release.  With Emacs 23 you can bind `window-size-fixed' around calls to
`display-buffer' in order to avoid that a particular window gets split.
With Emacs 22 `display-buffer' usually throws an error when the largest
or LRU window has fixed size.
