"In linux the only thing that should need a full restart is a kernel upgrade"

Really?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ksplice
"Ksplice is an open source[2] extension of the Linux kernel which allows system administrators to apply security patches to a running kernel without having to reboot the operating system. Ksplice has been implemented for Linux on the x86-32 and x86-64 architectures. It is currently being developed by Ksplice, Inc."

I suppose it might be possible that something was saved to /tmp/ and
got deleted when you restarted the system.  Still that sounds like a
horribly buggy plugin.

Anyway, glad you got it to work.
