Please ignore if this has been already resolved. You should be able to
handle this by customizing `split-height-threshold' to a reasonable
value (say 10). Confer the doc-string of `display-buffer':
If a full-width window on a splittable frame is available to display
the buffer, it may be split, subject to the value of the variable
`split-height-threshold'.
I didn't trace what caused the behavior to change from Emacs 21 to Emacs
22. The Emacs 22 behavior is consistent with respect to the doc-strings
of `split-height-threshold' and `display-buffer' though.
