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.
	Preparing...                 
	Installing /var/spool/up2date/glibc-common-2.2.4-31.i386.rpm...

	Installing /var/spool/up2date/glibc-2.2.4-31.i386.rpm...

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.
