[ESS] Problems after Debian update

[Brendan Halpin]

I've just done an apt-get update on Debian unstable, and ESS is acting
strange.

When I try to run Stata, it asks for the starting directory, then hangs
with this message:

Type C-h m for help on ESS version YY.MM

C-g and I can switch to the Stata buffer. There, things work well except
I can't recall commands with C-up-arrow, getting instead:

ess-error: Beggining of input not found

ess-version gives this: 

ess-version : YY.MM YY-MM-rNNNN

This is on emacs-snapshot but a quick test suggests it also holds for
emacs23.


I suspect something has screwed up in the installation.
