I have a RH box and run up2date via cron. Recently it told me:
glibc-2.2.4-31.i386.rpm: Retrieved.
glibc-common-2.2.4-31.i386. Retrieved.

The question is: after updating libraries, do I have to reboot to reload
them? It seems to me, if I have some binary in memory that uses some
library, which is also in memory, that I would have to restart every
binary running, or simply reboot, for the newer version on disk to take
effect.
