I gathered some information that was missing and could
reasonably be determined with further testing and opened the
scilab upstream issue #17461; see the Forwarded field.  Feel
free to complement if you believe some further information might
be worth forwarding.

Short summary of new items compared to what has been already
discussed in the present thread is:

  * I reproduced the issue on a virtual machine running the
    plain Linux kernel 6.12.y+deb13-amd64 instead of the cloud
    variant;
  * I never managed to reproduce the issue on bare metal (not
    news, but it is worth highlighting this only occurred on
    virtual machines so far);
  * I attempted the build with the later openjdk 25 instead of
    the default openjdk 21, per a suggestion from Helmut, but it
    seems the issue was also occurring here.

Have a nice day,  :)
