[ESS] ESS Hang Message

[Bill Denney]

Hi,

I had an issue a while back where ESS prior to 13.05 was hanging on my local system.  I now have 13.05 installed, and the issue is much rarer.  I just had an issue where ^G broke out of the problem, and when I went to the *ESS* buffer, the end had the messages below my signature.

The issue happened while using the recover feature
("options(error=recover)").  It appears to be related to using the number pad instead of numbers at the top of the keyboard.  I can't directly create a method to recreate it, but I can provide a method that shows some of the difference between keypad and top of the keyboard numbers (which may help get closer):

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

> options(error=recover)
> tmpfun <- function(x) {browser(); x}
> tmpfun(1)
Called from: tmpfun(1)
Browse[1]> 
debug at #1: x
Browse[2]> stop("here")
Error in tmpfun(1) (from #1) : here

Enter a frame number, or 0 to exit   

1: tmpfun(1)

Selection: 

-=-=-=-=-=-=-

If I press number pad 0 at the "Selection:" prompt, it requires me to press enter.  If I press keyboard 0 at the "Selection:" prompt, it immediately drops back without the requirement of pressing enter.

Have a great day,

Bill
