While your top-level code may be calling commit() on a Hibernate API,
the actual JDBC work that is going on doesn't involve a commit - it
looks like a batch insert to me.

The driver is waiting for results from the server, which presumably
never comes back. So you need to look at what the server is doing. (I
have no idea how to do that on a Windows box)
