D'oh! Forget all notes on ServerSocket - the problem is in File.listfiles.
Specifically called from (taken from RSSOwl CVS web):

  163     File tempDir = new File(GlobalSettings.WORKING_DIR +
GlobalSettings.PATH_SEPARATOR + "tmp");
  164     if (!tempDir.exists()) {
  165       tempDir.mkdir();
  166     }
  167 
  168     /** Clean Up the Temporary Directory */
  169     else {
  170       File files[] = tempDir.listFiles();
  171       for (int a = 0; a < files.length; a++)
  172         files[a].delete();
  173     }

If tempDir does not exist, RSSOwl starts. If tempDir exists but is empty (only
case tried so far), File.listFiles at line 170 never seems to return.

Will distill this down to a test case.
