{I've encountered the bug once again, already}

I should add that this is Emacs 24,
i.e.,
	GNU Emacs 24.1.1 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.11) of
	    2012-08-13 on buildvm-11.phx2.fedoraproject.org

which I'm only using since yesterday...
so it could be an ESS buglet that only shows in conjunctions
with emacs 24.


I'll try to recompile ESS (*.el --> *.elc)  with Emacs 24
and see if that helps.
