R process does not start correctly

I've seen it happen many times for me.  I'm not sure what is causing
it, other than it is holding up the 5.1.25 (hopefully equivalent to
the release candidate for 5.2, 5.2rc1), right now.  

The only sure way not to do it is to start R first, which is very
annoying to me, so I'm sure that I'll have it fixed by summer (it is a
bit hectic here, right now).

best,
