Subject: timeout --kill-after=0 seems to not send a kill 0s after the initial signal

Hey.

The timeout(1) manpage says:
       -k, --kill-after=DURATION
              also send a KILL signal if COMMAND is still running
              this long after the initial signal was sent

My naive assumption would have been that --kill-after=0 means that a
signal is sent immediately after the original one.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case.

If intended, this should perhaps at least be mentioned in the manpage
:-)

Cheers,
Chris.
