You need not reboot.  kill -HUP `cat /var/run/sshd.pid` will do just fine.
Some shared libs sshd uses (pam stuff I assume) gets pulled out from under
it and it (rightly) gets upset about this.  HUP'ing it will restart it and
it will work fine.  It will *not* kill you existing connection, only the
parent process.

Just did this 10 minutes ago.  Saw this in the logs:

ug  4 23:04:17 bigpoop sshd[36676]: unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/pam_skey.so)

HUP'd and all was well.
