I compiled a custom sysimage for a project (Julia 1.8.0) using the julia-vscode build command. On the first start MKL artifacts have to be downloaded which crashes the REPL in vscode (julia-vscode 1.7.5) after a while. I could download the artifacts from a REPL started on the commandline (Fedora 36, ZSH) and now the sysimage also works in vscode. I have error reporting enabled, but please let me know if I can provide additional information to get to the bottom of this.
