rh-eclipse47 over X-windows fails to start with floating point exception

On a DELL T440 server installed with RHEL-server 7.5-x86_64,
I installed rh-eclipse47 by following the instructions given in https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_developer_tools/1.0/html-single/using_eclipse/index.

I can start an eclipse session okay at the console with the command:
scl enable rh-eclipse47 eclipse

But if I log in from another Linux host using ssh -X,
eclipse will fail to start with this error:

[root@star ~]# scl enable rh-eclipse47 eclipse
/var/tmp/sclOIIUDZ: line 8: 657 Floating point exception(core dumped) eclipse
[root@star ~]#

I can start up an X-application like xterm, IDL, etc. without problem.
Other scl command such as scl enable rh-eclipse47 bash works.

Any idea how to resolve this?
