Hi,

It seems that bash's built-in kill behaves different from /bin/kill,
ksh's kill, and from what I would expect (this happens in all the
versions of bash that I tested).

What I would expect (and what /bin/kill a.o. seem to do):
kill -0 <PIDS> fails if one or more of the pid parameters is invalid

What bash does:
kill -0 <PIDS> succeeds if one or more of the pid parameters is valid

I couldn't find a complete spec of what is correct/wrong in any formal
UNIX spec till now.

Comments?
