[ESS-bugs] ESS 5.3.7: Bug

[Martin Maechler]

Hi Will,

Rodney has in the mean time addressed the bug you've reported.

Could you try to use the 5.3.8 development version of ESS 
and check to see if the problem is gone.

The only file relevant should be
   https://svn.r-project.org/ESS/trunk/lisp/essa-sas.el

so you may just try to use that in place of the 5.3.7 one.

Thanks in advance if you'd confirm the problem is fixed with the
new code.

Martin
