mv ~/.Rprofile{,.bak} mv .RData{,bak} 

I think the issue is a nonstandard options('prompt'). I (re)moved ~/.Rpofile and the .RData file for the working directory of the session and no longer had the blocking/endless waiting/frozen issue.

prompt as an issue also showed up when octave's default prompt changed: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27742075/emacs-freezes-when-running-an-octave-code-block-within-org-mode

setting my prompt is now pretty complicated

mv ~/.Rprofile{,.bak} mv .RData{,bak} 

I think the issue is a nonstandard prompt or updatePrompt function. I (re)moved ~/.Rpofile and the .RData file for the working directory of the session and no longer had the blocking/endless waiting/frozen issue.

I'd be great if there is a way to see if ESS has launched R and adjust the prompt accordingly. Maybe something with options('STERM')=='iESS'?
