49.19 - Soft Lock requiring Task Manager Close - Ghost Pilot Issue Isolated. Or maybe not.

EDIT: Ok - well - its not even the ghost pilot issue maybe. What worked last night - deleting the pilot or mech - inexplicably does not work this morning with the exact same process. Frustrated, I reloaded nightly from 4.14 and loaded same save and was able to advance to monday. So I presume now, probably incorrectly, that this is something new that was introduced by the merges yesterday. Regardless, Im going to let someone smarter than me figure it out. Im stumped.

Was getting a soft freeze upon trying to advance to a Monday.

Looks like this may be related to the infamous Ghost Pilot issue. Sometimes it goes away upon reload, but I had mothballed the Warhammer that he died in so I guess that preserved whatever the haunting bug is. Illiani isolated it to a mech or Pilot and on a hunch I checked the recently departed and his mech. Deleting the Pilot below or the Warhammer 8D from the hanger allowed it to advance to Monday.

To repeat the bug, load the save and hit advance day and it will freeze. But if you delete either the WH or the Pilot, you can advance day.

Since it is now isolated, and repeatable, maybe can look in the save file and see whatever ghostiness they have inherited and hopefully resolve.

Possibly related: #3201 and #3305.

I will say its odd though: He died on Jan 27, 3070. Have advanced through two weeks prior to this with no issue. Looks like I mothballed the Warhammer somewhere between Feburary 10 -15th. I guess that triggered it?
