So separate it out. Do it outside emacs, if it persists report to the ESS list.

| 
| ScheduleTimerQuery called
| GetDntDataTotal sql exec success
| GetDntDataQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| ScheduleTimerQuery called
| GetDntDataTotal sql exec success
| GetDntDataQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| ScheduleTimerQuery called
| GetDntDataTotal sql exec success
| GetDntDataQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| ScheduleTimerQuery called
| GetDntDataTotal sql exec success
| GetDntDataQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| GetDntDataPriorQueue sql exec success
| ScheduleTimerQuery called
| GetDntDataTotal sql exec success
| GetDntDataQueue sql exec success
| SchedulePriorTracktype called
| 
| ....  continuing like that without stop.  To get a prompt I have to send
| (from emacs "Signals" menu) the EOF signal, and then choosing "cancel".
| Then I can continue issuing commands, which get interrupted by the noise
| above ... What is happening?
| 
| Now I try the same with R running in a Mate terminal, lets see what happens:
| vignette("mle2", package="bbmle")
| > [TimeStamp]-----main-----begin
| sendMessage
| 
| Well, ... nothing happens---no problems & no pdf!
