Ah-hah, you're right! I just tried
(setq split-height-threshold nil)
... and that seems to do the trick. (Misunderstanding what it meant, I had
tried setting it to small values; I hadn't tried large values or nil.)
I'll have to play with it some more to be sure, but I think I'm fixed. Thank
you!

You're not the first one ;-)

I don't remember. But I completely fail to understand that setting
`split-height-threshold' and `split-width-threshold' to nil or very
large values can allow `display-buffer' to split a window (unless
there's only one window on the frame). Which values did you try?
