Oh, I missed this.  A "backport" means to rebuild the package for an
older distro release using the toolchain of the older release, and
older versions of the build-dependencies, if that is possible.  If the
dependency information in your initial report is correct, that is not
the case -- glibc in bookworm is 2.36-9+deb12u9 and not 2.40-3, GCC is
12.2.0-14 and not 14.2.0-8.  And of course the kernel in bookworm is
6.1.115 and not 6.10.12.

If the bug cannot be reproduced on bookworm (aka stable), trixie (aka
testing) or unstable (aka sid) with the stock Debian package, then I'm
afraid it's invalid (still, I'd like to know about it, what's causing
it and to get it fixed).

How did you make these backports, exactly?  Is this a bookworm machine
dist-upgraded to trixie/sid?  In that case you can just install the
stock Debian packages for everything; there's no need for backports.
