I did have ansi-color-for-comint-output set to t in ~/.emacs, but
that's all I could find. I don't know what hook you're referring to, but:

,-----[ C-h v comint-output-filter-functions RET ]
| comint-output-filter-functions's value is 
| (ansi-color-process-output comint-carriage-motion comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom)
`-----

and putting (setq comint-output-filter-functions
'(comint-carriage-return-motion comint-postoutput-scroll-to-bottom)) in
~/.emacs, as well as setting ansi-color-for-comint-output to nil didn't
solve the problem (in new emacs). In fact, the first action caused more
problems as soon as R was started:

error in process filter: Symbol's function definition is void: comint-output-scroll-to-bottom
error in process filter: run-hook-with-args: Symbol's function definition is void: comint-output-scroll-to-bottom


Thanks so far,
Sebastian
