More or less so, thanks.  Putting the debug-on-entry on
`display-buffer-pop-up-frame' would have been more indicative.

                                                                   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

`display-buffer-pop-up-window' likely fails here to produce a window and
next `display-buffer' tries to pop up a new frame.

The problem is that `switch-to-buffer-other-window' has to use "another"
window.  If it can't pop up a window on the selected frame it tries to
pop up a new frame :-( As Glenn remarked - you can get the same problem
by setting `pop-up-frames' to t.  What shall I do?
