John,
While Gilles' suggestion will probably clear things up, I'd still be
curious as to why it happened in the first place. I'd guess that some
message file 'hang' may have occurred or some other file has reached its
limit. If you have Glance it may be worth the trouble of recreating the
problem and trying to see what files are accessed by the StreamX process,
see if indeed StreamX is being impeded, or what procedure appears at the
top of the stack trace.

We ran into a similar problem with a client.
STREAMX appeared to "hang", but turned out it simply took a very long
time
to initiate the job (2 minutes or so).
The solution was to blow away the VESOFT account and re-install from the
latest VESOFT tape, after squirreling away our data files
(STREAMX.DATA.VESOFT, etc) for subsequent restoring.
That made the problem disappear.
