OK, here is what (I think) I know about this:

This variable has been introduced when the sync option of ScilabEval 
has been added approximately 3-4 years ago.

Without this variable Scilab execution flow could be interrupted at 
(almost) any time.

Now, it is possible to instruct Scilab to execute something without 
being possibly interrupted. This is the case with ScilabEval "..." 
"sync". Try the examples in help ScilabEval as a starting point to 
understand this.

You can also have a further look at the internals in the source code. 
Start in ScilabEval.c, dynamic_menus.c (especially the flag attribute 
in the commandRec struct), and parse.c. When an uninterruptible 
command is launched it gets executed in syncexec.
