I don't know if it's related or just because I am running in the
XCode's debugger, but when I do that, I see additional messages:

2022-12-24 10:05:30.309314-0500 emacs[5082:176291] [assertion] Error

Also, when running from the `src/emacs` binary, after a restart the
application icon in macOS changes to the terminal icon with the word
`exec` in it.

Per: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27479801/restart-application-programmatically
and: http://13bold.com/tutorials/relaunching-your-application/

I wonder if this method of restarting is just not the right idea on
macOS and it either needs to be relaunched with a helper utility or in
a completely separate process directly as described in some of the
further down stackoverflow answers.
