Interesting.  I tried again, using su - instead of su -c to see what 
happened and it still reports nothing.  In fact, it's never reported 
anything needing restarting.  Clearly, my copy of it's b0rk.  Any ideas 
why?  (I haven't restarted anything yet, and will hold off for a little 
bit in case there are any suggestions.)
