Well, nonetheless, none of your comments really help with the problem.

I know, that there were massive changes handling fork() and the pipes. So what shall I do, if a the problem now only manifests regularly if scp is called by Java calling a dos batch calling a shell script ? Using strace the problem is going to happen much more unlikely. So what do you mean is it good using a debugger?

I really tried hard to find a combination, that makes the problem more obvious without such a weird setup and I cried here for any help, that would enable me to find a better scenario or that enables anyone else to find the problem.

So, if you can't or won't help, I prefer no answer.
