More info. Nothing else than what I sent before is going to the log or std out/err, but if I hack the upgrade tool to log everything coming out of the java process I get the output below (which should be in the log unless that's what's hanging). The "OUT" and "ERR" strings are the names passed to my stream-watching classes:
