[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 12.09-1 [rev. 5354 (2012-12-21)]; ess-rdired fails

[John Maindonald]

--text follows this line--
M-x ess-rdired displays object names in an "R dired" buffer, as 
expected.  Also, I can tag objects for deletion.  Upon typing x, 
and responding "Yes" to the resulting message, I get the response 
"No ess process is associated with this buffer now".  The same
happens if I type "p" or "v".

NB: I have placed
<<<
(autoload 'ess-rdired "ess-rdired"
       "View *R* objects in a dired-like buffer." t)
>>>
in my .emacs file (though this was not, in the past, needed).
