Spurios PR Check Failures on Ubuntu

[tsmaeder]

Bug Description:

Recently, we've been seeing the following errors when running the "headless" tests as part of the PR check on Ubuntu 22.04 with node 22:

@theia/core:   2 pending
@theia/core: free(): double free detected in tcache 2
@theia/core: node:internal/errors:540
@theia/core:       throw error;
@theia/core:       ^
@theia/core: TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The "code" argument must be of type number. Received type string ('128SIGABRT')
@theia/core:     at process.set [as exitCode] (node:internal/bootstrap/node:123:9)
@theia/core:     at ChildProcess.<anonymous> (/home/runner/work/theia/theia/node_modules/foreground-child/index.js:63:22)
@theia/core:     at ChildProcess.emit (node:events:524:28)
@theia/core:     at maybeClose (node:internal/child_process:1101:16)
@theia/core:     at ChildProcess._handle.onexit (node:internal/child_process:304:5) {
@theia/core:   code: 'ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE'
@theia/core: }
@theia/core: Node.js v22.13.1

This is wasting time on every PR build and might hide real problems.

Additional Information

• Operating System: Ubuntu 22.04
