[Bug 18033] New: Check time-out for kernel boot initialisation

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18033

Summary: Check time-out for kernel boot initialisation
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.19
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: programs
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I am surprised by the following result.

elfring@Sonne:~> time wine notepad
err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out

real    0m30.886s
user    0m0.242s
sys     0m0.087s

I find the log message and the timing strange for my system specification.

CPU: 15.43.1 "AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+"
Memory: 2 GB

Sonne 2.6.28.7-default #1 SMP PREEMPT Sun Mar 1 18:21:35 CET 2009 x86_64 x86_64
x86_64 GNU/Linux

Can this source code section be improved with different synchronisation
approaches?

I mentioned this issue also on an other occasion.
