Known problem with Emacs 21.1.  Silly incompatible comint changes in
21.1 that weren't in the last beta-test release.  We need to rewrite
some process handling code for it.  I would suggest XEmacs at this
point, or backing down to Emacs 20.

Bad move, upgrading to it when most of the ESS developers are on
paternity leave (myself), fighting to release the new version of R
(Kurt/Martin), or closing out teaching or projects (Rich/Rodney).

We need to release the current set of fixes sometime, but not sure
when... 

best,
