and then I just answered my own question. 'hints' is handled by 'preprocess' module not 'files' module.
So changes to 'hints' file requires a *complete restart* , not just a HUP. (sigh) "files" -> I don't think that word means what you think it means. k, so is there *any* way to make "re-read the config" actually reread *all* the config as opposed to "only some arbitrary portion of said config which might possibly meet your needs, or maybe not"?
