Forgot to comment on this part.

Agreed.  I have always restarted all daemons after an update, and did a 
reboot when I saw some things updated that I knew needed an reboot 
(e.g., kernel update).

Initially, I'll be cautious an always reboot with the pkg update, until 
I can get a better understanding of how it works and what is occurring.

Thanks again for your excellent assistance.
