Crash report at execute PlatformUI.getWorkbench().restart()

First - thanks for all you do!

Executing PlatformUI.getWorkbench().restart() crashes a RCP-3 app when the application is running within a macOS sandbox container. I have contacted Apple Tech on this issue. Their position is that the crash report shows "a very characteristic signature and it’s definitely caused by your program trying to re-initialise its sandbox.  The most likely cause is your program spawning a copy of itself (using `posix_spawn` or fork/exec) or re-execing itself (using `execve` or one of its friends).  Neither of these is feasible in a sandboxed app." 
I have not yet uncovered a work around although a significant effort has been made.  Any help on this would be truly appreciated.

Step by:
Launch COR•REG™
Programmatically create database
User select Accounting setup
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().restart()
(Crash)

Be well
Ralph
