Description

@encounter looked at this with me in discord.
Purportedly due to problems with file handles, under wibo, RESOURCE.FRK gets deleted when other instances of the mwldeppc.exe process need it to exist.

Start with the linked GitHub Actions logs and reproduce multiple concurrent mwldeppc.exe instances in one directory under wibo. Inspect how RESOURCE.FRK is handled when one instance exits, then verify that an instance no longer deletes the file while another still needs it.
