[ESS-bugs] eldoc error: (error ESS process not ready. Finish your command before trying again.)

[Rodney Sparapani]

Here is something annoying.  I realize that ess-eldoc's days are
numbered.  But, I just want to make sure this issue is reported
so that it can be corrected if still necessary...

If you are waiting for an R command to finish, i.e. the prompt >
is not visible, then I often get this error message displayed in the
mini-buffer.  And it not only occurs in the *R* buffer, it appears
in every ESS-mode buffer that you visit.  It seems like this should
be a no-op since there is nothing really you can do about it anyways. 
Also, for me, it creates annoying flickering; every time I move the
mouse causes this mini-buffer to pop-up and re-draw.  Any thoughts?

For me, ess-version says 5.15.  I think I checked this version
out a few weeks ago (or did I change that manually; this is a
horrible bug report).  However, this bug has been around long
before that; I just didn't think of reporting it until now.
