C-x 2 and C-x 3 should always do what their name suggests, except when such a split would create a window that's smaller than window-min-height / window-min-width. But even in that case, I don't get a different split but a message is shown telling me that the window is too small to be split. (However, I'm testing with emacs 24, but I would be suprised if emacs 23.3.1 was that much different.) Anyway, can you give a recipe for reproducing that wrong split starting with "emacs -Q"?
