The imp SEEMS to halt but it is currently skipping the table data to get the next DDL.

Nothing is wrong. This is expected behaviour of the IMP command with the ROWS parameter set to N (No) - it says that no records are to be imported into a table. At the same time, SHOW=Y lists all DDL statements (CREATE TABLE, CREATE PROCEDURE, GRANT privileges etc.).
