> The local runtime tries to use symbolic links in lieu of file copies when it sets up the working directories for the Driver and Evaluators. This can fail on Windows when the user doesn't have symlink privileges. We account for that by catching {{IOException}} thrown by the symlink process and copying the files instead.
> However, what I just found out is that it can also fail for Java internal reasons with an {{InternalException}}. We therefore should catch any {{Throwable}} instead of just {{IOException}}
