[R] Windows Graphics Device Lockups with Rterm

I've been using Rterm with ESS to run R for some time. Recently I've
experienced lockups when displaying graphics; the first display seems to
work, but then refuses to respond and must be killed with dev.off(). Rgui
has no problems. I've tried eliminating all other processes that might cause
conflicts, to no avail.

I'm using win XP and R 2.9.0. Here's a transcript using rterm:

Thanks for any suggestions.
