Brain cramp: Console input on jdk 1.1.7

Folks:

I've got a serious brain cramp ... I'm trying to run a problem trying to
read console input in a Java 1.1.7 program, but can't get the code to stop
and read the input.

I'm getting a buffered reader using "BufferedReader in = new
BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));" and then doing a
"in.readLine()".

When this code runs on a PC, it works fine ... stops, reads the input,
processes the resultant string.

When I run the same code on the 400 (using strqsh 'java ClassName'), it
blows past the readLine call and returns a NullPointerException.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

david
