Instead of

" !--error 42 
Oups. A fatal error has been detected by Scilab.
Your instance will probably crash soon.
Please report a bug on http://bugzilla.scilab.org/ with:
* a sample code which reproduces the issue
"

You would like something like:
" !--error 42 
Oups. A fatal error has been detected by Scilab.
If you are using a graphic feature, this might be caused by your system graphic drivers. 
Please try to update them and try again.
Your instance will probably crash soon.
