[ESS] ess-mode: Wrong type argument: syntax-table-p, nil

[Kasper Daniel Hansen]

For what it is worth I do not see a similar error running Emacs  
22.0.50.1 under MacOS. But that is also a "special" Mac version so  
they may have patched stuff. However, I find it unlikely that they  
would do anything to specifically ensure ess to work. I have however  
just updated to 5.2.12 so I _may_ see issues in the coming days, If  
so, I will report them.

Your error seems a bit similar in flavour to the one reported at the  
start of the month for sas-mode (although it was sas mode instead of  
S mode and a bit different error message), so I would guess on some  
initialization as well.
