I am running Hadoop 1.0.3 on a small cluster (1 namenode, 1
jobtracker, 2 compute+data nodes).  My input file is a SequenceFile of
around 129MB consisting of Text keys and BytesWritable values.

This job creates 2 map tasks.  The first runs to completion and exits
without any error.  The second seems to be stuck in the initializing
state.  If I leave it, it will never finish, time out on, error
nothing.  It just runs forever and the job will never complete (in any
state!).  I must manually kill the job on the cluster.  Any ideas?

Attaching full Java thread dump of the 'stuck' map task:
