Argh. Although my question about debugging status still stands, a
sigquit helped. Java was hanging waiting on sufficient random bits to
generate an SSL key. Ironically, my observation about it working
perfectly when I was at the console ("must be green thumbs," I thought)
turned out to be more accurate than I had anticipated.

Added the IDE interrupts to rndcontrol and suddenly the app springs int
life :-)
