I've see this problem as well.
The setup where this occurs for me is NT, Emacs 20.3.1 (prebuilt), JDE
2.1.5, JDK 1.1.7. Changing to JDK 1.2 gets rid of the problem. It
doesn't happen at all with the same setup (JDE 2.1.5, JDK 1.1.7) on
Linux. And it doesn't happen on either platform in bash or DOS shells
outside of emacs.
For me, the problem maps directly to the buffer size (which is 8192 by
default). That is, if I change the code you sent to use a buffer size of
5, exactly 5 characters (including newlines) must entered before the
program reads the input buffer and displays any output. If I don't set
this, it takes 8K of input (or exiting the program) before anything is
displayed back to me.
