Hm? Did it restart them inappropriately, or did it not start them at all?

The recent changes to use a state file are buggy and cause some rather
bizarre problems. But there's also the question of compatibility with older
versions; I was reassured that the change *is* backward compatible, but if
you aren't seeing parameters from a restart then either that or some other
change is not backward compatible. (I've already had to rewire this once
because of an unannounced non-backward-compatible change leading up to
0.12. I am not a fan of "move fast, break stuff" especially if the only way
I can find out about it is to audit every single commit.)
