Not on my machine (Win2K-SP4). Stops after the first JBreak, faster than
I can issue a second one.

However, I did find that I could get J to lock up Explorer. Here's what I
did:
(note that to issue JBreak I normally have to use Start-> Programs-> J->
JBreak)

1. Issue the "exec ''" in the J window
2. Start -> Programs -> J and then right-click and "Explore"
(Windows) Explorer locked up, taskbar non-responsive, no way to get at
JBreak.

Fixed it with Task-Manager (end-task the J application).

Repeated having first opened an Explorer window to the J subdirectory (of
Start->Programs, i.e. where the JBreak icon lives). Same thing happened,
except that by using Alt-Tab I could switch windows and so get at JBreak:
double-click cleared the blockage.

I have little idea what could be happening to let J hog the processor to
quite this extent. Other apps seemed quite happy (though this is based on
very limited testing).
