"Again, the question is what else needs to be restarted?"

The answer to that is "I don't know", which is why the general
recommendation here should be to just reboot.  Basically, any long-
running process with the older libc loaded that tries to do NSS DNS
lookups will fail.  This was the bug introduced in the previous update,
and reverted in this, but of course, the revert will have the same
effect as the original update if you upgraded and restarted with the
interim libc.

Again, this sucks, but there's no sane way to both revert the ABI break
and make it smooth for the people who restarted services (or the
machine) with the bad update in between.
