<p>Ok, here is an update to this issue.</p>
<p>The initial issue that I had, that prompted this, was that the
cinnamon-panel had become non-responsive and I could not launch
any apps, etc.<br>
I also rebooted to ensure that is wasn't something that would have
been fixed by a reboot.</p>
<p>Adfter rebooting -- the cinnamon panel was still non-responsive
-- to a tty and ran *cinnamon --replace* which crashed (as
reported).<br>
I switched to the mate desktop to get around the issue -- at least
for the time being.</p>
<p>The other day I switched back to cinnamon to re-test this and the
cinnamon-panel was functioning correctly.<br>
<br>
Oddly, enough running *cinnamon --replace* from a tty still
crashes, but I was able to run it, from a terminal, within
cinnamon without issues.</p>
<p>PS: I can't remember what date that I first experienced this --
but it was a few days ago -- I switched to MATE to get around<br>
it temporarily and I reported the issue a few days later.</p>
<p>I guess the point is that cinnamon seems to be functioning
correctly -- even though *cinnamon --replace* can't seem to
executed<br>
from a tty (but does not fail if run from within cinnamon).<br>
<br>
I'm not sure if this may now be expected behavior...<br>
