Endless loops in computation code (1.6.0_22).

Ehm, I'm not a big fan of Maven myself, but trying to get used to what
people use (and many people do use maven -- perhaps they need those 10
minutes to grab a coffee in the morning, don't know).

Ok, so it must be Maven's test plugin messing with the stdout/stderr log
order then. I'm glad you could reproduce it.

Great, thanks. I fiddled with that code a little bit moving loop counter
increments here and there, but it seems to be fairly resilient to where they
are (as long as the logic doesn't change). Interestingly, moving the sysout
does seem to fix things (if you move it after the if in the inside loop).

I appreciate your help, Tom. This is truly fascinating stuff.
