Hi Bernd,

I can't recreate this hanging issue locally (I don't have access to a
windows box).  This sounds like an ESS issue to me since ESS seems to be
the hanging process.  Perhaps a good first step would be to try to
evaluate "(require 'ess) (R)" in a batch Emacs session without Emacs
hanging.  Once this is working then it should be clear how to run ESS
sessions from code blocks.

Best,
