This always got me tho...  If a program is already running, how do you
make it stop using the old libraries?  If 'restarting' /sbin/init makes it
reload, I'll take your word at it.  But what about all of the other apps that
happen to be running?  The bash session I happen to be doing this upgrade
from.  Or X (yes, in an ideal world, you goto single user to do this
anyhow.. :))
