The startup error should be gone in the current version.

As of running an external program that takes too long - there is a  
conceptual problem here. The goal of the new timeout (which causes  
those messages) is to prevent lock-ups of the GUI by packages or  
programs that produce too much output before giving R chance to  
display it.
