Summary	08436: arabian: Arabian 2 Player freezes after player 1's death.
Description	In MAME 0.248 I came across an issue with Arabian that occurs when a 2 player game is played. The game locks up when when player 1 dies. The game works properly in 2 player mode in older versions of MAME such as 0.214 which I tested and confirmed works.
Steps To Reproduce	Start Arabian and select a 2 player game. Have player 1 die.
Additional Information	I posted this issue on the official MAME dev forums and another user confirmed they too have this issue and suggested I create a bug report here. Here is the link to the thread I posted earlier. https://forum.mamedev.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=854&p=2497#p2497
