I just got this problem again today. After some digging and doing an
strace I discovered that it's neither a problem with my kernel nor wine.

My CD/DVD-ROM drive (Pioneer DVD-120S) in combination with HAL seemed to
be the problem. Apparently HAL would lock up whenever it tried to poll
my drive's status. As a result *all* applications trying to open
/dev/hdb (blockdevice associated with my drive) would lock up.
Disabling device polling with a config snippet like this fixed the
problem:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/disable-hdb-polling.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="block.device" string="/dev/hdb">
<merge key="info.addons" type="strlist"></merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
