bug#5318: 23.1.90; -batch vs. "Window height 3 too small (after splitting)"

[jidanni]

Gentlemen, this is a -batch job.
Suddenly I'm getting
"Window height 3 too small (after splitting)"
However none of my equipment has windows even twice as small.
Something must have broke recently.

emacs-version "23.1.90.1"
