[ESS-bugs] Object completion in R buffer doesn't finish with options(error=r ecover)

[Marcus, Jeffrey]

I am using R 2.3.0 from within S using the setup provided by John Fox
(init.el is version 0.7.3). If I set options(error=recover) within R
and then try object completion,  I see  the message
"Forming completion in package:methods... "
and this lasts at least 15 minutes before I hit control-G to stop
it. When I hit control-G, I enter the R debugger. 

This only happens
when I set options(error=recover) before trying an object
completion. If I have options(error=NULL) (the default) when I first
try an object completion, completion works subsequently regardless of
how I set options(error). 

I am using Windows XP.
