Because you specified "-new" option RSA key will be generated.
For that random number generator must be seeded.
This looks like openssl waits for random entropy source
and entropy is not ready.
On Unix this sometimes happens when for example /dev/[u]random
file exists and ocrandom daemon is not running.
Try for test add option "-rand" with some "entropy" file.
