Hi Randall,
Are you running on Windows?
If not can you send some more information (if any) on what the error/ 
stack trace is and platform.
If so the problem may be that the Main class performs a System.in.read 
() which has issues windows friendly. We have yet to find a good work  
around, but i am tempted instead to replace it with a sleep statement  
and tell users to quit using Ctrl-C. Could you try modifying the  
sample to use a sleep statement and see if that fixes it.
Paul.
