Wrong. The OP's request was for a reload without resetting the
scheduling queue. A HUP resets the queue. Try it, I did. Just sending a
HUP is not sufficient to resolve her request.
 
Per my original response, it looks possible to reload without
rescheduling via the use_retained_scheduling_info config option combined
with the HUP.
