Hmmm. A thread waiting for keyboard input... Seems to ring a bell
with me. I haven't checked lately, but seem to recall that terminal
I/O on MPE might not be thread-capable. It could probably block in
the FREAD intrinsic or some select() system call (native method call)
and "freeze" the green_threads running in the process' Java VM.

No idea if DTC versus NS/VT versus Telnet might make a difference.

Redirecting stdin to a named pipe, that is driven with input from a
cat -u command in another session, might help to get an idea if my
guess regarding "direct keyboard input" is "on track". This at least
helped me with a seemingly similar issue with smbclient trying to do
a select() on the terminal. (Not that it provided a workaround, but
at least gave an indication about the underlying issue).

Lars.
