You *do* realize that when you start your thread, run gets called (once) 
and when the run method returns, the thread exits.  I don't believe you 
are supposed to start the thread a second time.  Instead, create a new 
one and start the new one.

Alsom, you probably should use StringBuffer, not String.  StringBuffer 
grows but String is immutable.  If the data has any size to it 
whatsoever, you end up really being very inefficient.

Try these two and see what happens.
