Subject: Re: bug#9473: "kill -l" doesn't conform to POSIX when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set

Typically, 'kill' is built into the shell, and you're undoubtedly
invoking your shell's version of kill.  So you need to send a bug report
to your shell's maintainer, not to coreutils'.

For example, on my host:

$ /home/eggert/opt/Linux-x86_64/coreutils-8.13/bin/kill -l | head -n 1
HUP
$ kill -l | head -n 1
 1) SIGHUP	 2) SIGINT	 3) SIGQUIT	 4) SIGILL	 5) SIGTRAP

So coreutils conforms, but the shell does not.
