I looked a bit into my configuration. In my configuration, I set the value =
of=20
org-babel-min-lines-for-block-output to 0.

The default value of this variable is by default 10.

When the number of lines in the output is larger than it, it uses
EXAMPLE blocks rather than the escaped ones.

So the original issue (* not being escaped) will nonetheless appear when
the threshold is passed:

Here is an example (I run it with emacs -nw -q, using emacs25) org
version 8.2.10 (this works also in my configuration under 9.0.2)

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results output
(dotimes (i 2) (print '*hello))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
:=20
: *hello
:=20
: *hello


#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp :results output
(dotimes (i 10) (print '*hello))
#+END_SRC

#+RESULTS:
#+begin_example

*hello

*hello

*hello

*hello

*hello
#+end_example


=20

thank you all again,
