There are two things that could have gone wrong:

  1) ess-dump-object-into-edit-buffer doesn't re-dump the object if the
     temporary file already exists. For me this file is
     "/tmp/vspinu.bringLibrary.R". It could be that long time ago you edited
     that file and truncated it unintentionally. Please remove it and redump.

  2) By default inferior-ess-dump-command is dump(\"%s\",file=\"%s\"). If you
     didn't modify it, try dump("bringLibrary") and check the content of
     ./dumpdata.R. If it's truncated its an R issue.
