Sorry, I know not strictly a jenkins issue, jenkins remains responsive and 
can kill the hung build so jenkins is fine.

But something about the jenkins environment messes up teraterm and I need a 
clue.

My build job is pretty straightforward;
1 Source from SVN
2 execute batch file to build (3 types of gcc and visual studio)
3 execute batch to do doxygen and build installer.
4 execute batch to install onto custom hardware and do a simple smoke test.

The batch files mean I can run the processes by hand, it is all working.

Step 4 fails under jenkins, this batch file runs a utility to program my 
UUT over USB/I2C then calls the teratermpro macro utility to connect over 
USB/RS232 to configure and interrogate the device, the result of all of 
this is an IP address in a file (it is a wifi IoT device). I take the IP 
address and ping it to see the device is on the air and talking.

Under the covers the teraterm macro program opens a copy of the teraterm 
GUI application and controls it, I think by injecting messages into its 
windows message Q.

When run under Jenkins the macro step that opens the main application is 
executed and never returns, in task manager I can see both the macro 
program and the gui app sitting there doing nothing.

I searched here for tera term issues and found it is new, but perhaps 
something similar has happened in the past with other program.

If no obvious answers, how do I debug it, a thread dump for jenkins seems 
popular, but jenkins is fine, would it help in this case (and a how-to)?

Thanks

Chris
