December 10 update breaks Oracle action

[mevans]

I was just at a good point yesterday to update Visual Build 9.7 to the December 10, 2018 revision. Today I tried running a script that does some Run Oracle Script actions. Visual Build just hung. I tried many times. I was running 9.7 prior to this and it worked fine. In fact, went back to a version of 9.7 that I had from September and installed it (I had to uninstall first because the installer wouldn't install older components). After restoring the older version of Visual Build, the Oracle action ran fine.

I turned on verbose information in the output and I could see that my Oracle script had run and produced a result in the output window. Unfortunately, Visual Build was stuck on the step for many minutes. The query I was running is very quick.

Here are details from the working version:

This is unusual. I've not had new releases of Visual Build break things. Normally, I just upgrade and everything continues to work.
