It does *appear* to hang if you use the dumpstream option - that's
because it is streaming it to disk.

Check the directory that you ran it in - there should be a file
"stream.dump" in there.  If you check from another xterm it should be
getting larger.

Also, try it without the dumpstream option - you should see it in real
time then.
