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: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    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.

I tried building Wine with gcc 4.8 (but still using clang for the Mac driver).
The (seemingly) infinite loop on the first run still occurs. However, when
attempting to install Steam, the installer is able to proceed past the first
screen.

It seems that we have two different bugs here, only one of which seems
Clang-specific.

Created attachment 45329
  --> http://bugs.winehq.org/attachment.cgi?id=45329
error at wine boot and consequent infinite loop

After tracing the looping instance of wine, it turns out that the hang is
related to the error that it spits out during launch (the attached file
contains the error first and a callstack of the looping process second).

As for the hang in the Steam installer (which really should have been a
separate bug report), it spends all its time inside GetNextDlgGroupItem. I
guess Clang still has trouble compiling the dialog stuff.

I can't reproduce the bug any more with Wine 1.7.3 and Clang-500.2.75 (the one
that comes with Xcode 5, based on LLVM 3.3+), so one of those things fixed the
bug. Probably the latter.

Closing bugs fixed in 1.7.4.
