Sorry for the late answer. The application itself of course uses libraries that are in the container which comes from the base image. Issues with the docker version matter only when there is a system call sent by an app from inside the container and the system call is not compatible with Docker. I’m not entirely sure how it works. I had the system call issue once and never after but I read about issues from others too. I alsou encountered other issues as well like when an image could be built only on one server and other servers could not run the container or rebuild the image until some changis in the application’s config. I never found out why it happened I only suspected some CPU specific dependency.
Unfortunately I don’t know the answer to your problem, but it looks like someone else just had a similar issue:
