[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.2.9; shell commander not working properly after an inferior R process is started.

[Frede Aakmann Tøgersen]

Cygwin bash shell commander not working properly when invoked in a buffer after an inferior R process is startet. Bash works properly if invoked before the R process. 

Using a minimal .emacs as follows:

;; ESS 
 
(add-to-list 'load-path "C:/cygwin/usr/local/ess-svn/lisp")
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list "C:/cygwin/usr/local/ess-svn/info")
(require 'ess-site)

(setq-default inferior-R-program-name 
	      "c:/Programmer/R/rw2011/bin/Rterm.exe")  ; msdos systems

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 '(explicit-shell-file-name "bash"))
(custom-set-faces
  ;; custom-set-faces was added by Custom.
  ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful.
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
  ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.
 )


If I start emacs and evoke a shell buffer with M-x shell bash is
started in a buffer named *shell* and works properly even if an
inferior R process is started with M-x R and R works fine.

If I first do M-x R and then M-x shell then R works fine but the bash
doesn't work at all. To every command line input it says "command not
found", e.g. for a <CR>, pwd and ls I see

bash-3.00$ 
: command not found
bash-3.00$ pwd
: command not found
bash-3.00$ ls
: command not found
bash-3.00$ 

Does ESS overwrites variable definitions that regard to the behaviour of
Emacs shell mode and if so which ones?
