SwingWorker não está respondendo

O que estou tentando fazer?

Ao clique doStart JButton, aSwingWorker irá executar. Dentro dedoInBackground() método, eu estou passando cada índice dearrNames, aopublish() método, para que possa ser exibido dentro doJTextArea.

O que aconteceu ?

Se eunão manter linhaSystem.out.format("Counter : %d%n", counter); como umComente, no meudoInBackground() método doSwingWorker, então oSwingWorker éfuncionando como esperado. Embora se eucomente, então oSwingWorker pára de responder.

Estou fazendo algo errado ?

Versão Java:
java version "1.7.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_25-b16)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 23.25-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

Aqui está o código que estou usando:

public class SwingWorkerExample1

        @Override
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
        {
            JButton source = (JButton) ae.getSource();
            if (source == startButton)
            {
                startButton.setEnabled(false);
                stopButton.setEnabled(true);

            System.out.println(this.getState());
        }

        @Override
        protected Void doInBackground()

            System.out.println(this.getState());
            while (!isCancelled())
            {
                counter %= arrNames.length;
                //System.out.format("Counter : %d%n", counter);
                publish(arrNames[counter]);
                counter++;
            }
            statusLabel.setText((this.getState()).toString());
            System.out.println(this.getState());
            return null;
        }

        @Override
        protected void process(java.util.List<String> messages)
        {
            for (String message : messages)
                tArea.append(String.format(message + "%n"));
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
        {
            @Override
            public void run()
            {
                new SwingWorkerExample1().displayGUI();
            }
        };
        EventQueue.invokeLater(runnable);
    }
}

EDIT 1:

Como sugerido, se eu adicionarThread.sleep(...), funciona, no entanto, lança umInterruptedException como mostrado abaixo. Então o truque funciona. Mas isso é olegítimo maneira de realizá-lo?

EDIT 2:

SomentedoInBackground() é alterado, que levantou a exceção acima:

@Override
protected Void doInBackground()
{
    Runnable runnable = new Runnable()
    {
        @Override
        public void run()
        {
            statusLabel.setText((BackgroundTask.this.getState()).toString());
        }
    };
    EventQueue.invokeLater(runnable);

    System.out.println(this.getState());
    while (!isCancelled())
    {
        counter %= arrNames.length;             
        //System.out.format("Counter : %d%n", counter);
        publish(arrNames[counter]);
        try
        {Thread.sleep(30);}
        catch(InterruptedException ie)
        {ie.printStackTrace();}
        counter++;
    }
    runnable = new Runnable()
    {
        @Override
        public void run()
        {
            statusLabel.setText((BackgroundTask.this.getState()).toString());
        }
    };
    EventQueue.invokeLater(runnable);
    System.out.println(this.getState());
    return null;
}
