Hmm.. this is strange - it works fine in the Terminal, in the GUI and  
in xterm. I suspect that this is some ESS-specific thing, but I have  
no idea what settings ESS changes. I couldn't find the error in R  
sources, either. Martin, do you have any idea where that error comes  
from?

Cheers,
Simon
