Re: scons-4.3.0 bug reading scons-3.1.2 generated .sconsign.dblite

If scons did a full rebuild, it would not be a problem.  The issue is that
scons does NOT do a full rebuild, thinking that targets were up to date
when they were really not.

I see a workaround that someone else took:
https://github.com/Autodesk/arnold-usd/pull/116/commits/a404d5f3400437beb4bad561ef1811538f7af022.
I will be putting this into our SContruct file.  Can this be made the
default behavior?

Thanks,

Jay
