Hello.

So is it not allowed that we reload a configuration after change
load_module directive?

But it seems probably happened that others guys reload nginx, since they
don't know
whether load_module changes.

I mean we should upgrade after change so files, but it's easy to get a
segmentation fault
if some other guy run a reload command at that time.

B.R.
