In his case, it seems the problem is not that the frame's selected
window is changed (which was the problem you're referring to), but
that the buffer-list is changed because Fselect_window calls
`select_window_1 (window, 1)' where the second arg causes select_window_1
to call `record_buffer (w->buffer)'.
