Now that I think about it, could it be that Jam hits a BeOS limit? 
Specifically, the open FD limit? That would make a very simple 
explanation for this misbehaviour, and would be simple to fix as well.

Hm, have you tried replacing the Terminal with the old MiniTerminal to 
see if that brings a relief? Have you enabled the on-screen KDL (aka 
blue screen)? And if so, does pressing F12 drops you into the kernel 
debugger?

Indeed. Just like the full build under Linux :-)
