Completions echo

Dear ESS community,

I'm having the same problem as reported by Mary Lindstrom February
last year. I've searched the archives and found no answer. Please help
if you know an answer to this.

The problem is that on TABbing for completion or dumping a function
(C-cC-d) for the first time in an S buffer the iESS buffer echoes
object names of various functions and datasets. The object names which
appear are the ones on the last position on the search list (see
examples below). This also occurs when creating the namedb with M-x
ess-create-object-name-db

I'm running Version 3.4 Release 1 for HP 9000 Series, HP-UX 9.0.5 :
1996: This behavior occurs under emacs 19.34 and emacs 20.3 using ess
up to and including ess-5.1.18. It does not occur running R under
emacs 20.7 and ess 5.1.18 under linux but it does occur running
S+elsewhere from the linux box on the HP.

Thanks for any help,

Einar
