23.0.60; list-buffers in recursive edit

[Nick Roberts]

Window handling goes crazy in a recursive edit, e.g. after an error is
triggered with debug-on-error set to t.

With split windows, M-x list-buffers displays the buffer list in the current
window, `o' in the buffer list (Buffer-menu-other-window) works like `f'
(Buffer-menu-this-window) or sometimes pops up or displays in a new frame.
