Description
Currently I am trying to figure out why my application crashes when the machine is rebooted from terminal (actually it just does exit(1) somewhere without cleanup). The latter will make systemd send SIGTERM to all processes. I am currently debugging my system by manually killing cinnamon-session and trying to figure out what exactly happens. By stracing my application I found out that the app writes
read(7, "", 8) = 0
write(2, "ICE default IO error handler doi"..., 68) = 68
and the does exit(1). I have no clue what csm is doing but somehow if I logout by button everything is fine. Is this an issue with the session manager?

Research direction
Start by reproducing the difference between terminal reboot or manually killing cinnamon-session and logging out through the button, then trace the ICE default IO error handler and the exit(1) path. The issue is resolved when the cause of the unclean exit is identified and the shutdown behavior is verified against both scenarios.
