[ESS] change error-tolerance of ESS

[Martin Maechler]

Dear Heinz,  your ESS 18.10.2  is quite old by now.

I'm not at all sure if the XLConnect problem is solved in current ESS or not.
I see you are using Windows ('rterm.exe'), so you may get a newer
ESS+emacs version from Vincent Goulet's page
(--> https://ess.r-project.org/  -> [Downloads] --> Windows   leads
you to   https://emacs-modified.gitlab.io/windows/
  that page says  ESS 24.01.1 (development version)     which is much
newer than yours {and the Emacs version, probably, too}.

My guess would be that it even could be an  Emacs rather then ESS "bug" ..

I hope this helps a bit.
Martin
