23.0.60; bug with window-splitting?

[Tom Rauchenwald]

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the address@hidden mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

$ emacs -nw -Q
M-x calendar

results in calendar-basic-setup: Wrong type argument: window-live-p,
#<frame F1 0x83bddb0> 

In general, when started in a terminal, every function that wants to
split the current window (describe-function, describe-variable and so
on) results in that error.

It seems to be connected to split-window-preferred-function (which is nil). 
When I set it to split-window-preferred-horizontally things sort-of work,
that means the window gets split vertically and not horizontally.

In an X-frame everything works as expected.
