I'm afraid you're right about Windows Defender.

I have two client hosts, running Windows 10 and 11 respectively. The build
fails in the same random way on both of them. The only BLODA-ish app on both
of them is Windows Defender.

But when I push the build up to scallywag, it succeeds every time. Which is
good news.

So I'll keep working on this. Thanks for your help.
