http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24394

Summary: cmd.exe locks up
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.2
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: cmd
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I had a working installation of Wine 1.3 on Ubuntu 10.04. I recently upgraded
to the newest linux kerne Wine's cmd.exe stopped working. uname --all reports:

Linux samsung-netbook 2.6.32-24-generic #43~ppa1~loms~lucid-Ubuntu SMP Tue Aug
31 17:13:22 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux

Cmd.exe works with internal commands, such as dir, date, etc. However, when it
looks for external commands, it freezes. I have to close by clicking the x.

It doesn't matter what external command. I tried notepad.exe, regedit.exe, etc.
All lock up. I first discovered the problem when trying to run python and perl
scripts. I am using Python 2.6.6 (from Python.org) and Strawberry perl.

It doesn't matter if the command includes the full path or if it must search
the %path% environment. Cmd.exe just freezes.

Other Windows apps work fine from a shortcut link. The Python Idle gui works
fine. Ctrl-C does not break the cmd.exe session.

I tried to uninstall/purge all Wine components and start from a new Linux user
(i.e. fresh ~/.wine). Didn't work. Still freezes.
