embeding a browser command in ESS does not pause execution of function. 
Example:

prova <- function(x){ browser() ; x }

 > prova(6)
Called from: prova(6)
Browse[1]>
[1] 6

This problem is new under my current settings. Things worked properly in 
the past. Maybe ESS or EMACS need an upgrade ?
I have an R 3.3.0 version on a x86_64-pc-linux-gnu (64-bit) platform
Browser does work normally in other editors like Rstudio on the same
example or from Linux console by calling R.

Any suggestion well appreciated thanks.
