The following attempts produce the same hanging behavior:
  "bash -c /bin/wish84" from a DOS command shell and a bash (--login -i)
shell
  "bash --login -i -c /bin/wish84" from DOS shell nd a bash (--login -i)
shell
However,
  "strace -w /bin/wish84" (from a bash shell) works!  (Also confirmed by
Felix von Hove)

I haven't tried the latest snapshot due to learning curve (in progress).
