emacs also freezes when other unicode characters, such as ± (plus or minus) are entered in the *R* buffer. this is definitely an ess-specific issue, because there is no freeze when a special character is entered in the *scratch* buffer. it is also an inferior R issue, because entering special characters in file.R buffers works fine, until an inferior R process is started, and then emacs will freeze. any ideas?
