[ESS-bugs] ess-mode 5.3.6; C-c C-p enters infinite-ish loop

[Richard M. Heiberger]

Killing emacs shouldn't be necessary.  C-g should interrupt the freeze.
Please confirm to this list whether C-g works here.

I have found that C-c C-p (comint-previous-prompt) fails when the
previous prompt is a long way away. Typical behaviour is emacs
freezing, with top reporting that Emacs is using 90-100% of the
processor. This lasts for a seconds to minutes, and often requires
killing the emacs process
