Double check the actual running version. I had that when I tried to start a too-new slurmd/sackd against an older slurmctld that was still running.

download slurm-26.05.1.tar.bz2 and build it on Debian GNU/Linux 12. Use it as 
compute node(node-3).

Run command "srun -w node-3 hostname" on controller node, got the following 
error message:

srun: error: Task launch for StepId=10.0 failed on node node-3: Header lengths 
are longer than data received
srun: error: Application launch failed: Header lengths are longer than data 
received
srun: Job step aborted

Here is the logs on node-3:

How can I fix this problem?
Thanks
