Portability problem

I am not sure if I do something wrong (probably), but I run into this problem:

root@buster:~# gitscan
=ERROR REPORT==== 17-Jul-2025::14:26:28.084149 ===
beam/beam_load.c(150): Error loading module gleescript_main_shim:
  corrupt atom table

escript: exception error: undefined function gleescript_main_shim:main/1

root@buster:~# erl
Erlang/OTP 27 [erts-15.2.7] [source] [64-bit] [smp:6:6] [ds:6:6:10] [async-threads:1] [jit:ns]

Eshell V15.2.7 (press Ctrl+G to abort, type help(). for help)

This is a Debian buster machine (yeah, it is EOL 2022, but it exists nonetheless) where I installed esl-erlang_27.3.4-1~debian~buster_amd64.deb. The Erlang shell works and shows OTP 27. I was of the impression that this should work.

Start by reproducing the gitscan escript failure on Debian buster with the reported Erlang/OTP 27 package, then compare it with a working environment. The issue names no repository file or test; done means identifying and fixing the portability cause so gitscan starts without the corrupt atom table error.
