[ESS] Error starting R

I've had a chance to play around.

I've uninstalled ess-17.11 from the system and installed the latest
ess-20181007.1527 and am able to start R under Emacs with M-x R.

Reinstalled the most recent ess-smart-underscore-20180911.523 and can still
start R under Emacs with M-x R.

A couple of other packages have been updated since last week...

alert-20181005.2251
ein-20181008.235
elpy-20181006.2226
magit-20181008.1844
projectile-20181008.812
yasnippet-20181007.2230

..so its possible, but I guess unlikely that they were causing conflict.

Thanks to the developers/maintainers for their on-going efforts, really
appreciated.

Neil
