Recipe:
0. emacs -Q
1. M-: (setq split-window-keep-point nil) RET
2. Visit the attached file.
3. C-x 2
The point in the original (top) window has moved (unnecessarily) from
the first line to the last visible one.
The docstring of the variable `split-window-keep-point' says:
If non-nil, C-x 2 preserves point in the new window.
If nil, adjust point in the two windows to minimize redisplay.
[...]
But in this case there was no need to adjust point, because it was in
a position which would remain visible after the splitting.
This behavior is specially annoying if you are in a Dired buffer and
do `C-o' on a file (the point jumps to the last visible line).

Vist any file large enough to extend beyond the end of the selected
window.

Does the attached patch give better results?

Just to explain what IMO happened and maybe should happen here: Emacs 23
had a wrapper
(save-excursion
(set-buffer (window-buffer))
which, probably to avoid a warning, Stefan changed on 2009-11-13 to
(with-current-buffer (window-buffer)
Ever since that `split-window-keep-point' was broken and the fact that
nobody complained till now seems to indicate that we probably should
obsolete this option.
I don't understand the purpose of the (set-buffer (window-buffer)).
Maybe it was due to the fact that the current buffer might not be the
window buffer of the selected window when `split-window-vertically' is
called. In that case, however, the specification of `old-point' and the
conjunct
(<= bottom (point))
some lines below _would_ consult the current buffer (since it's outside
the `save-excursion') and we'd have a problem anyway.
OTOH, not using `save-excursion' is the wrong thing since everything
done in the excursion is to _calculate_ positions and not to modify
them. My patch is an attempt to fix most old and new issues with one
exception: The let's
(old-point (point))
should probably become
(old-point (window-point-1))
but I'm not very sure yet. Any ideas?

Yes, it does. Thank you.

Probably.
Actually I don't have this option set to nil in my init file. I
discovered the bug while playing around with Emacs.
