The session freezes so that I can no longer click on any windows within the R session -- including other scripts that are open or the R console.  (I hear the "ding" sound when I try to click on anything.)  I have looked at the Task Manager on the computer and R is still running (and is still responsive according to the Task Manager), but I cannot do anything within R.  I have tried pressing Esc and that does not help.

I have sometimes seen symptoms like that when an open file dialog gets 
hidden behind another window.  R is waiting for the dialog to complete, 
but since it is hidden, it never does.  Generally it pops up eventually; 
I'm not sure why it is allowed to be hidden at all.
