rm of an in-use DLL on a separate drive from tempdir on Windows will infinitely recurse #59589
Description
Say we have deved a folder named TestPackage. In the Julia REPL, after using TestPackage, when one alters a file in the folder, then triggers a precompile in the preexisting REPL with ]precompile, the precompile doesn't end and memory usage of the Julia process balloons until I'm OOM.
MWE: ]generate a package and then dev it. Following the process above, do using TestPackage then change "Hello World" to "Bye World", then trigger a precompile.
