I have Fedora core 3 and have the same problem but  I
noticed the "hanging" when I go to the menu to exit S(
which in my case is R). If I quit R from within
emacs-ess , I get no hanging. 

I did not have this problem before getting ess-5.2.4
I do not know how to resolve this and will not be able
to spend any time on it.
If it becomes a nuisance, I will return to 5-2.3 for
awhile.
