ess doesn't run in XEmacs

[Ramon Diaz-Uriarte]

Dear Sven, 
I had the same problem a while ago. It turns out the problem is related to the
pty permissions being too  restrictive in suse 6.3; see the article

http://sdb.suse.de/sdb/en/html/ke_devpts-63.html

(basically, change some permissions, and your are done; should be no problem if
security is not a big deal with your set up). Once I fixed it,
everything worked OK.

Ramon
