Stalls as in when it runs bjam it eats up the usual huge amount of 
memory and cpu to start up. Then when it should start doing action 
commands it just pauses, both stops eating memory and stops using the 
cpu, and it just sits there in idle. Oh, yeah, and it's Leopard. So an 
OS change might be suspect (it's a new Mac Mini x86 2GB RAM).
