Thread dump when Java server is stopped by IceGrid

I'm probably doing something amazingly stupid here, but I just can't see it. Here's the source of a server I'm running (NB: This is on Windows XP, using Ice 3.1.1 and Java 1.5.0_11):
package test;

import Ice.Application;

public class Test extends Application {
	public int run(String[] arg0) {
        communicator().waitForShutdown();
		return 0;
	}

	public static void main(String[] args) {
        int result = new Test().main ("Test", args);
        System.exit (result);
	}
}

This starts fine with IceGrid. But when I stop it, I get a thread dump as follows in the window where the relevant node is running:
[ C:/Program Files/Ice-3.1.1/bin/icegridnode.exe: Server: changed server `Test' state to `Deactivating' ]

This looks like there's a deadlock or something of that sort somewhere in the shutdown process, no? But I can't work out what could possibly be going on; this is obviously not one of my real servers, but a cut-down version that still seems to exhibit the error. Obviously I'm just not seeing what the stupid thing is in the above code, because I can't see the difference between this and my servers that do work ... somebody help?

Thanks,

MEF

    Hi,

    If your server doesn't register a process object, the IceGrid node tries to shutdown the server by sending a Ctrl-Break console event. This works fine for C++ servers which handle console events (such as Ice::Application) but as you discovered, for Java servers, it just dumps the server threads.

    You should register a process object for your Java server to allow IceGrid to properly shut it down. See the Ice manual for more information on the registration of process objects ("30.17.6 Process Registration" and the documentation for the object adapter RegisterProcess property in Appendix C.4).

    Cheers,
    Benoit.
