"""
According to POSIX, kill shoudln't fail with ESRCH on a zombie processes:
"""
Existing implementations vary on the result of a kill() with pid indicating an
inactive process (a terminated process that has not been waited for by its
parent). Some indicate success on such a call (subject to permission checking),
while others give an error of [ESRCH]. Since the definition of process lifetime
in this volume of POSIX.1-2008 covers inactive processes, the [ESRCH] error as
described is inappropriate in this case. In particular, this means that an
application cannot have a parent process check for termination of a particular
child with kill(). (Usually this is done with the null signal; this can be done
reliably with waitpid().)
