[ESS-bugs] Lisp nesting exceeds 'max-lisp-eval-depth'

[Martin Maechler]

Well,
I don't have a real clue
but I note that you, Rodney
talk about "\" in strings, and I'm pretty sure that this doesn't
work in emacs as well as it doesn't work in R.

I think you should use forward slashes as Rich did in his
examples (and I pretty confident that this has nothing to do
with John Gavin's problem --- which I find pretty strange in
itself, and would rather diagnose as a unfortunate interaction
of some other (semi broken) Emacs code/initialization and ESS.

BTW: Does all this mean, I should wait with releasing 5.3.1?
Note: If it doesn't happen tomorrow (Wed), it probably won't
      happen till early next week.
