That's interesting.

I found this issue, which seems to be related.

JLine is not restoring terminal settings appropriately on some linux environments

Key quote: "Problem turns out to be related to using the IBM jdk.  Jline restores the console correctly with the Sun jdk."

They also have a fix: looks like we might need to include something similar in our invocation script.

So it appears that your addition of "stty sane" to the end of the jython invocation script was the right way to go.
