That's really strange. I don't think that's valid or expected behavior.
If a boot option exits with success, then, as I understand it, the boot
manager is expected to return to the setup UI at once. (I don't have a
reference ready for this, but I remember someone mentioning it.) Boot
option processing continues only if the current boot option exits with
failure.

I think the reboot you see is actually a crash. (Not saying that the
issue is in your application, just that the reboot should not be
triggered by either the application or the platform firmware.)

Thanks,
Laszlo
