Bug #: 31962
           Summary: Wine configuration update window hangs, new prefix
                    configured incorrectly.
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.15
          Platform: x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Wine was working perfectly fine until a few days ago, before I even updated to
1.5.15. I'm using Ubuntu 12.04, 64-bit. Clean installation.

Basically, whenever I try to create a new prefix, the folder is successfully
created, and the little 'The Wine configuration in % is being updated, please
wait...' window appears, and then repeatedly stalls, greys out and un-stalls.

The directories appear to be populated and the winecfg window for the new
prefix does eventually open after about 10 minutes, but the new prefix is
inoperable, and winetricks wont run in it.

Terminal spits out the usual fixmes and also one single error I've not seen
before, 'err:process:__wine_kernel_init boot event wait timed out'.

I researched this error and tried a proposed fix, 'wineboot --update', but this
didn't solve the issue either.

Eventually, terminal spits out 'err:seh:raise_exception Unhandled exception
code c000013a flags 0 addr 0xf7776425', and then appears to start the whole
process from scratch, showing the usual fixme errors.
