If you want this to be the default behaviour:
Make sure you have "Align To" set to "World" (not "View") in the "Editing" section of the User Preferences.
http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Doc:2.5/Manual/Interface/Configuration/Editing#New_objects

If you want to control it for each added object:
Select/Deselect the "[ ] Align to View" checkbox in the toolbar after adding the object.
(To the left of the 3D View. Press [T] to show/hide it and look for the "Operator" panel at the bottom.)

Again, see what the setting is for "New objects" in the "Editing" section of the User Preferences.

Please be sure to ask questions like this in the "Support" section of the BlenderArtists forum first.

This mailing list is focused on Blender development.
Often things like this are not bugs, but simply a difference in the configuration/usage.
