Hmm, I have tested the command line on my Win32 version of openssl and it works like a charm. So may be a quirk in Mingw or something else in your environment would be the root cause.

Looks like it hangs while trying to prompt you for a password. Please try the -passout option (see http://www.openssl.org/docs/apps/genrsa.html) to specify a password, then prompt is not needed.

Hope it helps.
