Good Day Friends!  
In recent times it comes to my attention that sometimes the mender client is crasing after module update triggers a reboot. This results in device stuck in “rebooting” in the UI, basically for ever.

The module has

```auto
    NeedsArtifactReboot)
        # This will trigger a propper reboot
        # https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender/blob/master/Documentation/update-modules-v3-file-api.md#artifactreboot-state
        echo "Automatic"
        ;;

```

Logs before reboot (successfull update)

Mender Client

```auto
# mender --version
3.4.0	runtime: go1.19.3

```

It seems that the client crashed. Is there something I can do to ensure this do not happen?

Hi @mister_kanister,

I know it’s a bit of a boring question, but - does this also happen on a current stable client? 3.4.0 is not exactly up to date, neither in version nor patch level.
