Both the man page and the shell builtin kill mention you can use PID -1, which means nuke everything you can get at. Alas this "fun" option was missing and the only way to get around it was with "kill -HUP -- -1". This small change means kill -HUP -1 is back for all those destructive types. The error was introduced when the argument parser was fixed for other problems. Thanks to Mike for pointing this out. Signed-off-by: Craig Small <csmall@enc.com.au>

HOW TO CONTRIBUTE
See Documentation/BUGS file.
PACKAGING
If you are a downstream maintainer (packager) for a Linux
distribution, please avoid causing troubles. This section
applies to you.
Avoid maintaining distribution specific patches. Send your
patches to upstream, where they are at least reviewed, if not
included.
Please forward bug reports. If your bug database is public and
busy enough to bother with, please make this known. Follow
Debian's lead in making the bug database easy to comment on via
email without need for an account.
For normal packages, ensure that you do not add debugging flags
to the CFLAGS variable.
