Sorry for returning to this subject after so long... But did the jury
ever reach a final verdict?

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I know I've confirmed this, but after re-reading your question I'm no
longer sure what you really asked for. To clarify:
1. Executing the above "test" within rgui.exe works (i.e. I get a
graphical list box).
2. Executing the test under rterm.exe works.
3. Executing the test under ESS doesn't work (unless I first use e.g.
`windows()') -- it just freezes forever. It's possible to break out of
the freeze by `C-c C-c C-g'. Now, if executing the test again, it'll work.
Best,
Henric
