--- Comment #2 from Jilles Tjoelker <[email protected]> ---
Unless the -a option is used, pgrep and pkill do not find any ancestor
processes. This is documented if you read the man page fully, but might be
slightly unexpected. On the other hand, why use pgrep to find the current shell
process?

The commit message that added this (SVN r192242) states:

"When finding processes, ignore ourself and our ancestors.  It is almost
always surprising when you kill a 'sh -c ...' ancestor or when you kill
yourself when using -f."
