It looks like your process really is stuck in a way that has nothing to do with the Oracle code directly.
You might look at the CPU usage of your session and its shadow using an O/S utility, but I suspect it would show zero CPU. Perhaps truss (or the AIX equivalent) might show your process spinning on whatever call equates to 'has the async read completed yet'. You could try doing three processstate dumps with 5 second intervals to see if the processstate shows any changes which might give you a hint - but again I'd GUESS that you'll find nothing happening.
