I noticed the following improper behavior in find-file-other-window:
When I defined a function bound to a key in my startup with these two
lines in it: 

        (split-window-vertically)
        (find-file-other-window "~/note")

When I invoke emacs with a file name argument, i.e., emacs foo, and
then within emacs hit the key bound to the function containing the
above lines the effect is that the window is split twice.  Presumably
once for split-window-vertically, and a second time for
find-file-other-window. 

When I invoke emacs without arguments and then a file and hit the key
bound to the function above, it behaves as it should: it splits the
window only once.

The bug: in some cases find-file-other-window detects that there is
another window and uses it, in others it doesn't and creates one of
its own.
