 It doesn't seem to be because of the parent's I/O, either.  I ran it under gdb, and
 the call to t.start() blocked for the 100 seconds until run() returned:
 
 (gdb) break main__7Thread2Pt6JArray1ZPQ34java4lang6String
 Breakpoint 1 at 0x804b315: file Thread2.java, line 13.
 (gdb) run
 Starting program: /home/francis/work/experiments/gcj/threads/Thread2
 
 Breakpoint 1, Thread2.main (args=@806fff0) at Thread2.java:13

 Current language:  auto; currently java
 (gdb) next
 14              t.start();
