When running the jacoco plug-in inside a pipeline using a Docker container as the build agent, the call randomly crashes with an EOFException (see stack trace below).

Minimum example in this repo: https://github.com/deors/deors-demos-java-pipeline

Re-launching the pipeline, no changes in sources, sometimes it work, but some other not. No pattern observed on failure.
