We have to detect the moment when the window is closed automatically
anyway.  At that time we can either kill the buffer or reset
`other-window-scroll-buffer'.

How comes?  Ahh... I see.  If `other-window-scroll-buffer' is non-nil
and the buffer was killed in the meantime `display-buffer' throws an
arg out of range error.  That's silly ... should be fixed now.

Could you try doing that?  I have no idea where to start.
