Emacs23 with "window height too small"

The new emacs23 gives me

("Window width 0 too small (after splitting)"))

whenever I load ECB or tabbar. Seems to be introduces after updating from Kubuntu intrepid to jaunty. Any hint how to solve this?

From serverfault Willi Richert

• It's a known bug apparently... Until a fix is released, the easiest solution would be to run emacs21.

  If you're willing to patch & recompile, I also found a potential patch here, although I can't confirm if it works or not.

  Willi Richert : If I use LANG=C instead of "de", emacs works as expected. Is your bugfix related to that?
