latest from Kernel:stable is 5.17.5 Is there a reason to believe this is fixed there? If not, I'd try to reproduce on 5.17.4 (it always took about 9000 seconds or more for the peculiar build job to reach the point where it eventually crashed the host machine, so every reboot / reconfigure / whatever will restart that cycle and eventually aborting the build job so often will cause the OBS to consider the build host broken, so it will not get scheduled again).
