 gcc 2.95.2, libgcj 2.95.1 (the most recent I could find), on RedHat 6.1, with no
 particular flags to configure except for --prefix (didn't want to make a mistake
 and blow away the bundled gcc).  Oh, and --enable-shared (for gcc, not for
 libgcj).
 
 I also tried it with --enable-threads=posix.

 You're right; it seems to be a more general problem.  Here's a test case where the
 parent thread hangs until the child terminates, even though the child isn't doing
 any I/O.
 
 public class Thread2 implements Runnable {
     public void run()
     {
  try {
      Thread.sleep(100000);
  } catch (java.lang.InterruptedException ie) {
      System.err.println(ie);
  }
     }
 
     public static void main(String args[])
     {
  Thread t=new Thread(new Thread2());
  t.start();
  System.err.println("main thread");
     }
 };
