On the 3.99.10 box it's wine 0.9 built on 20060103; on the 3.99.15 box it's
wine 0.9.6 built on 20060131, both from pkgsrc trees current at the time,
with all required packages up to date. Both exhibit the same behavior.

>Description:

/usr/pkg/bin/wineprefixcreate is a script that sets up ~/.wine.
Towards the end it runs

   wine rundll32.exe setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 \
	wine.inf

This goes into an infinite loop burning 99% cpu and needs to be
killed.

As this operation is known to work under Linux it seems likely that
it's some kind of system dependence.

I actually discovered the problem with a different program (part of a
legacy Windows compiler), and in the course of troubleshooting
discovered that wineprefixcreate didn't work either.

I ultimately need to get the legacy compiler working, but I strongly
suspect that it's the same issue in both cases.

Note that the legacy compiler worked with wine-20040505nb1, which I'd
had installed on a previous occasion. (Unfortunately, I can't just
revert, because other things don't work with that version.)

>How-To-Repeat:

Build wine.
Run (as an ordinary user) /usr/pkg/bin/wineprefixcreate.
Observe (with ps) a copy of wine looping.

>Fix:

It's possible to populate ~/.wine manually as a workaround, but this
is a hassle and easy to get wrong.

Otherwise, no idea. :(
