I'm sorry, I think I misunderstood your question before.  I was thinking of a
full restart, not a "graceful" restart, aka reload.

If I understand the docs right, the same main server process will normally
continue, just rereading its configuration files.  I would think the expected
behavior would be not to reprompt, since the passphrases are already stored in
memory.  But I don't see that in the docs anywhere.
