Comment(by bforchhammer):

 Okay, I've tracked it down into
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-admin/menu-
 header.php#L118 menu-header.php] and a `file_exists()` call.

 {{{
 file_exists("E:\Inetpub_Prod\wwwroot/wp-
 content/plugins/E:/Inetpub_Prod/wwwroot/wp-
 content/themes/p2/functions.php");
 }}}

 The path is a combination of `WP_PLUGIN_DIR` and that `__FILE__` variable
 passed to `add_theme_page`; it obviously is quite wrong and
 `file_exists()` should simply return false.

 In our environment however it spins and times out... very strange.

 I've copied the code above into an empty php file and played around with
 it a bit; it seems to timeout as soon as there's a second `e:/` in the
 path; wrong slashes, wrong path, etc. doesn't cause a timeout.

 Could you guys try this on your IIS boxes and check how your server
 reacts?

 It might just be a wrong server setting or php.ini configuration, or maybe
 a PHP/IIS Bug, but maybe WordPress should also do some cleaning up on that
 filename?

 What do you guys think?
