[ESS] Problem with R 2.6.0 "Lisp nesting exceeds max-lisp-eval-depth"

[Bill.Venables at csiro.au]

Tony,

The one that's causing trouble is ESS version 5.3.3.  The other machine
is the one I have at home, so I can't check right now, but it may well
be a later version.

I'll try installing 5.3.6 and see if that fixes it.

Thanks.

Bill.

Bill -

But which version of ESS are you using?  Is it the same on both, or
did you just update one of them?
