In this case what was the source file for the OD binary? That it was originally launched from? Was it that same path?

[thw26]

I use a symlink on my binary, which points to the original location.

[12:45:16] which oudedetai 
/home/thwright/bin/oudedetai

lrwxrwxrwx  1 thwright thwright   67 May  2 20:45 oudedetai -> /home/thwright/.local/share/FaithLife-Community/oudedetai/oudedetai*

Do you think this is causing the issue?

[ctrlaltf24]

Yup. Good chance, however that seems like a reasonable thing for a Linux user to do, I'd prefer to support that case if possible.

We can use Path.readlink() to resolve symlinks. Then use that path to see if the current file that's being executed is already the file in our binary directory, if so do nothing.
