reassign 480852 manpages-posix 2.16-1
retitle 480852 kill(1posix) should mention that -SIGNAME and -SIGNUMBER are XSI
extensions
thanks

checkbashisms considers `kill -9` as a bashism:
$ echo "#!/bin/sh" > tmp
$ echo "kill -9 foo" >> tmp
$ checkbashisms tmp
possible bashism in tmp line 2 (kill -[0-9] or -[A-Z]):
kill -9 foo
Actually, according to POSIX, such a usage is perfectly valid:
POSIX itself requires only -s and -l to work; -SIGNAME and -SIGNUMBER are
XSI extensions - see
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/000095399/utilities/kill.html
kill(1posix) manual page fails to mention that, so I'm reassigning the
bug.
