[Bug 27259] New: winemenubuilder hangs sometimes

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=27259

Summary: winemenubuilder hangs sometimes
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.3.20
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

(This problem was also mentioned in bug 14026.)

Every now and then, winemenubuilder seems to hang.

It happened to me just now installing progecad 2010 trial.
winedbg btall (see attachment) shows that winemenubuilder was started with -w, 
which is described in the source like this:
 *  If the -w parameter is passed, and the shortcut cannot be created,
 * this program will wait for the parent process to finish and then try
 * again. This covers the case when a ShortCut is created before the
 * executable containing its icon.
It hung in WaitForParentProcess().

Winemenubuilder should resume when its parent process exits. Why isn't its
parent process exiting?

This ticket has not been updated for over 900 days. Development recommends
to check the status on your bug every release or two and let to be known if the
bug is still present. If not, mark it fixed. If you are no longer able to put
effort to this ticket, you can abandon it.

Is this still an issue with 1.7.7 or higher ?
