Public bug reported:
[Impact]
The kill binary will segfault when called w/ a single, negative PID. This
breaks a use case where you maybe sending the default signal (SIGTERM) to all
processes (-1) or all processes in a process group (-<PGID). This is regression
introduced via an SRU to fix LP: #1637026.
[Test Case]
$ /bin/kill -9
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
[Regression Risk]
This fix will now make our optparsing almost identical to current yakkety, for
which I see no obvious regressions filed.
