[Wine] wine hangs on first run

I'm using a fresh install of Fedora Core 5 with the RPM install of Wine
0.9.12.

When I run winecfg, it says "wine: creating configuration directory
'/home/vince/.wine'..." as I expect it to.  Following that is many lines of
"Font metrics" progress with a few "fixme:font" messages.

Nothing seems too unusual.  But, when it gets to "Font metrics: 100.0% done",
it just hangs there forever.

If anyone knows what might be happening or some troubleshooting steps I
could try, I would be very grateful.


   - A directory that looks like a .wine directory is created, but the
   directory name is suffixed with a dash and a seemingly random string.  For
   example: .wine-d7DD26
   - The following processes seem to be related:
   vince    11532 11529  0 00:08 pts/1    00:00:00 /bin/sh
   /usr/lib/../bin/wineprefixcreate --quiet --wait --prefix
   /home/vince/.wine-d7DD26
   vince    11552     1  0 00:08 ?        00:00:00
   /usr/lib/../bin/wineserver
   vince    11549 11532  0 00:08 pts/1    00:00:00 rundll32.exe
   setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 wine.inf
   vince    11529 11226  0 00:08 pts/1    00:00:00
   /usr/lib/../bin/wine-pthread winecfg.exe
   - If I use strace -p 11549, in this case, the system call it's hung on
   is "recv(12, ".  I don't know if this is helpful at all.

Thanks to anyone who can help.
