[Bug 1488939] Re: kill -L behaviour (is it a doc or code error?)

[ChristianEhrhardt]

Since the basic issue is understood in bash vs gnu kill implementation
IMHO there is no reason to carry an Ubuntu delta just for that.

I still want it properly fixed  one day, and not just explained.
As far as it looks right now this seems to become part of bash 4.4.

Which means this bug will stay open until we adopt bash 4.4 one day and then be verified and closed.
If anybody objects to that please let me know.

  I'm not sure if it is a doc or code error, but the actual behaviour is
  not what the doc describes...
