Hanging on ServerSocket.accept()

[Paul J. Lucas]

When launching my application, perhaps 1/10 times, the underlying web  
server gets stuck in ServerSocket.accept().  This happens only when  
run under Windows and only for one of our users.  (The user had turned  
off all firewall and virus software.)  The thing that concerns me is  
how wide-spread the problem is.  (Our product is not yet released.)   
The problem has never been observed to happen under Mac OS X.

We have been using the Simple web server.  I tried replacing it with  
Jetty, but the same thing happens.

Has anybody else experienced something like this or have any  
suggestions?
