Latest Debian APR update

Is there any way of knowing if this security update needs me to restart Apache on my web servers ?

It's this update:

http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2237" target=_blank title="http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2237\">http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2237">http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2237" title="http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2237\">http://www.debian.org/security/2011/dsa-2237" target=_blank>http://www.debian.org/sec ...

Thanks, I really hate stopping and starting Apache !

Reload just refreshes the config I think :(

Restart is probably needed.

Yes, it only refreshes your config. If I can then I always do a full restart.

I've just seen the last bit of that text on the advisory. Duh. I suppose a full "restart" and not just "reload" is needed ?
