There's a pretty bad bug in kill. Mea culpa.
This means that coreutils-5.0.2 (or maybe coreutils-5.0.90)
will be coming soon.
$ sleep 9 & ./kill $!
[2] 27983
./kill: ./kill: invalid process id
[2]+ Terminated sleep 20
[Exit 1]
You'll notice that kill tried to kill the string `./kill' in
addition to the supplied process ID.
Here's the fix:
* src/kill.c (main): Fix bug introduced on 2003-05-10 (for 5.0.1)
whereby kill would always attempt to operate on argv[0] and fail.
