It doesn't hang for me, but it is significantly slower. I'm running
the latest development release. Tasklist appears to be WMI heavy. I
ran Process Monitor and it appears that when running tasklist /m under
bash, WMI is significantly more active. WMI actually opens tzres.dll
(Time Zone Resources) about 150,000 times vice a mere 800 times when
executing through a standard command prompt. Moreover, WMI really
doesn't appear to be doing much of anything with tzres.dll... just
open/close/open/close/open/close. Very curious indeed.
