[ESS] Problem with transcript file

[Arvas Mikko]

Dear all,

as my emacs skills are rudimentary I don't know what to do with this error.

I want to start recording a transcript file at the start of emacs ESS R session.
Hence, I set:

(load  "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/ess-site")
(setq ess-ask-about-transfile t)
in .emacs.

Then I start up emacs (GNU Emacs 24.3.1), ess and specify the name of the transcript file when prompted for it and this is what happens:

Loading /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess/ess-site...done
For information about GNU Emacs and the GNU system, type C-h C-a.
(New file)
Type C-h m for help on ESS version 13.09-1
Entering debugger...
inferior-ess-output-filter: Wrong type argument: markerp, nil [2 times]
inferior-ess-output-filter: Wrong type argument: markerp, nil

With additional degugging information:

Any ideas on how to fix this?
