You mean clicking on "Output" in the list of options pages?

I can't reproduce this, either on trunk or in 0.5.3. Could it be looking for 
printers
or something?

Looks like it. The EnumPrinters function being used here does remote procedure 
calls
to contact the spooler, and if that's not there, it'll take a while to time out.
Mintty ought to be handling this without becoming unresponsive though.

I have the same issue, except that after a while it just crashes (actually it
vanishes without warning, so I'm just assuming it's crashed). As soon as I click
'output' it immediately hangs. I tried enabling the Print Spooler and it started
working with only a very brief pause, so that's definitely it.

This is v0.5.8 on Windows XP (x64).

Fixed in r776 on trunk. Thanks to xuefer for pinpointing the problem (in issue 
168). 

(The RPC timeout was a red herring, because EnumPrinters() level 4 as used here 
isn't 
affected by that.)
