scilab 5.2.0-6 debian / xcos problems

[Oswald Berthold]

dear list,

i'm still having troubles getting scilab resp. xcos to work on a debian
system (similar to those i reported a while ago on this list).

the problem seems to be with file (diagram) storage, so somehow related
to libhdf?. i can create, edit and simulate diagrams fine, but the next
time i start scilab -> xcos and open a previously saved diagram, the
following happens:
 - diagram is opened and displayed
 - all menu items and buttons are greyed out
 - i get a lengthy error in the parent console (attached)

opening and running any of the demos works well though. doing a save-as
from a demo results in an error again.

also getting the same behaviour when running from scilab-5.2.bin.tar.gz.

is anyone else having these problems? if not, i suspect it's due to my
overall system state but i'm somehow at a loss of inspiration where to
dig.

versions:
 - debian unstable
 - scilab-5.2.0-6
 - libhdf5-1.8.4-serial
 - both openjdk-6 / sun-java6

pointers appreciated,
regards, oswald
