  Right but that very answer says: > Newly created processes will use the updated contents, running applications will access the old version. In other words, currently running code is still running the known-buggy version, exactly what I said originally that kicked-off this whole discussion.

    No, what you said was: "until you reboot, your Linux box is still running the known-buggy code" And then later in the same post (just so we're clear about what you said): "But unless you reboot after installing your Linux updates, your computer still has the bugs." Linux does not require a reboot to update.
