sorry for hijacking this thread.  With a quite useless message...

I experience freezes at that exact position also on local sessions
sometimes.  I have never reported, because I can't send the scripts
where this happens and slight modifications to the causing source block
usually 'fix' this.  So I failed in creating a reproducible example that
I can send so far.

The main purpose of this message is the hope, that someone else has
experienced and solved that problem before (maybe changing some
ESS-setup?).

I will try more to get a reproducible example and report if I get one.

Best,
Andreas
