Environment:

- AIX 6.1

- Java:
  java version "1.6.0"
  Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pap3260sr9fp1-20110208_03(SR9
FP1))
  IBM J9 VM (build 2.4, JRE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.4 AIX ppc-32
jvmap3260sr9-20110203_74623 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
  J9VM - 20110203_074623
  JIT  - r9_20101028_17488ifx3
  GC   - 20101027_AA)
  JCL  - 20110203_01

- jruby 1.6.5 (ruby-1.8.7-p330) (2011-10-25 9dcd388) (IBM J9 VM 1.6.0)
[AIX-ppc-java]

- Gems:
  - bouncy-castle-java (1.5.0146.1)
  - jruby-openssl (0.7.4)
  - net-ssh (2.2.1)

Code:
    require 'rubygems'
    require 'net/ssh'
    host = 'xxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xxx'
    username = 'xxxx'
    Net::SSH.start(host, username, :verbose => :debug) do |ssh|
      puts ssh.exec!("hostname")
      puts ssh.exec!("ls")
    end

When running this program it hangs for 30 seconds at four points, as I
have shown below. Note that I have omitted a number of lines.

If I switch to Java 5 on AIX instead, the program runs without problems.
Also, I can run the same program without problems on Windows XP and Java
6 (from Oracle).

Any help in solving this problem would be much appreciated.
