A thread dump could possibly help, and it would show if there are any
Java level deadlocks. Either do a kill -QUIT on the Java process, or use
the jstack utility bundled with the JDK (I'm assuming that you're still
using JDK 1.5 on Mac?).

stress.multi hung in many runs last week because of a deadlock between
TableDescriptorOIDCache and TableDescriptorNameCache. Should be fixed
now, though. A thread dump would tell whether that's the problem.
