Same here.

Yes, exactly. I've been running Linux systems for many years and it just
hadn't occurred to me to try a reboot. I thought that maybe it was a
library caching issue which is why I tried rebuilding the ldconfig
tables. But it didn't help. Your thought about a process keeping it open
is a possible if the upgrade didn't restart the database itself.

Well, I'll try but rebooting has largely destroyed the evidence of
course.

Many thanks to all of you for replying
