             Bug #: 34066
           Summary: Wine looping endlessly on first run, and when
                    installing Steam
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.6-rc5
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Mac OS X
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: camillo.lugaresi+wine at gmail.com
    Classification: Unclassified


When first running Wine after installation, the prefix gets created or updated.
Under Wine 1.6rc5, wine (running wineboot?) seems to get into an infinite loop.
If you try to launch other Wine program, they hand for a few minutes before
finally continuing with the message "err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event
wait timed out". After killing the initial runaway wine process, the problem
seems to go away.

When trying to install Steam, msiexec also gets into an endless loop. There is,
again, a runaway wine process taking up a whole CPU. However, in this case,
other wine programs can launch normally while msiexec is stuck.
