R process does not start correctly

[Sven Garbade]

Dear list,

I use R version R 1.6.1 (2002-11-01), ESS version 5.1.24 and XEmacs
version version 21.4 (April 2001). In some cases after starting R via
M-x R Ret I got the following error message:

No ESS process is associated with this buffer now.

and R isn't running within a buffer.

Any ideas? Thanks,
Sven

Here is the log message:
