Actually it means "don't split windows horizontally" ;-)

What effect were you looking for?
To avoid that `display-buffer' creates smaller and smaller windows, set
the values of either or both `split-height-threshold' and
`split-width-threshold' to nil or to some larger value. If this doesn't
work for you there's a bug; so please try to tell us more precisely what
you wanted to do and how it failed.
Thanks, martin
