[ESS] ESS hangs emacs on start-up

[Vitalie Spinu]

I cannot replicate the problem with (setq initial-major-mode 'R-mode)
either. So I have no clue what is cauging it. r5715 is completely
innocuous and if you can run emacs -q with your .emacs containing only:
   
   (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/ESS/lisp/")
   (load "ess-site.el")
   (setq initial-major-mode 'R-mode)   

there is nothing that we at ESS can do about it. It is all your local
setup to blame for.
