I'll try when I'm at the machine (later in the week).

I am not running under cygwin, at least not knowingly.

I may have set up emacs to try to use cygwin; maybe that leaked into R
running under ESS.  My emacs is the Windows version.

I took the "C:/Program" reference to mean that it was trying to execute
"C:/Program Files/...." but couldn't deal with the space.  If it's
trying to execute glmmadb.exe then the problem is that it has looked up
a system path while the program (R and packages) is installed at the
user level.
