Yes, patience!  It is generating a large public key.  On my 233MHz
laptop, it takes about 13-14 seconds.  When it is done, you'll see
some things change on the SOX icon.  Then, double click on it, or
click on the little circle to the left, and the account will appear.

(What speed is your machine?  Also, what JDK are you running?  Some
are slower than others.)

After it is finished, the debugs will show the second line below:

             Crypto: generateKeys(...)
             Crypto: generateKeys: returning java.security.KeyPair@50cd6bf
