Temporary work-around

The temporary workaround is to delete the contents of the php-xdg-runtime-dir-fallback- folder (which is usually just the psysh folder). However, it does not seem the right solution as we would be deleting it every time we want to access php artisan tinker

This seems to be a fairly recent problem, as the timestamp of the two links (https://stackoverflow.com/q/46801515/5156885 and https://stackoverflow.com/q/46792892/5156885) as of this writing is 9 hours and 23 hours ago, respectively.

[bobthecow]

This is a bug with an underlying library on Windows. See bobthecow/psysh#430 for a temporary fix until a workaround is released.

Did a composer update and saw that psysh version was bumped up

I tried php artisan tinker again and can verify that this issue is now resolved. Thanks @bobthecow for the quick action!
