Issuing a strong interrupt opens tracer at `[#.[LIB]] #.Conga.LIB.Clt[20]*`

```apl

Research direction

Reproduce the issue by running `)copy isolate` and `isos←ø¨2⊂''` with Dyalog APL 21.0 on Windows 11, then issue a strong interrupt and inspect `#.Conga.LIB.Clt[20]` at `#.Conga.⍙CallR`. Compare the behavior with v20.0; done means isolate creation no longer gets stuck in v21.0.
