I believe that the assigned category isn't so important; the point IMHO is that it can happen easily while some FPC written program is running (e.g. due to regular "apt-get update" & "apt-get upgrade" and the administrator would never know that he or she should restart certain daemon after such a change (normally, the administrator shouldn't care whether the daemon was written in FPC, C or PL/I).
