It turns out that a site-wide version of ESS had been installed. For 
some reason, this caused my local version to stop working. The 
site-wide version also did not work. I told the powers-that-be this 
could be because the shell script used to start SAS invoked the dms, 
but I'm not sure if I was believed. Anyway, after the site-wide version 
was removed, my local version worked again.
Can anyone think why this happened?
