Sure, here goes:

 1) Start Emacs with ./src/emacs -Q -g 80x24
 2) C-x 4 f ~/.emacs
 3) Observe that the frame is split vertically, i.e. the new buffer
    is displayed in a window *below* the scratch buffer.

Now repeat this with 160x24 instead of 80x24.  The frame is now
split horizontally and the new buffer is in a window to the *right*
of the original window.  It's a bug because the size of the frame
should not affect the direction of the default split.

I just bootstrapped from CVS and it still happens.

Hope this clarifies things a bit,
