[Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I did some extra testing on this bug today.

I compiled and installed the latest procps-ng (3.3.10) on Ubuntu 14.04 i386,
and it sees the problem:

greearb@v-ubuntu-14-04-i386:~$ ./test-pkill 
System command failed: ERROR:  system command "pkill -f my-funky-cmdline" terminated with signal 15

 my-system rv: 15
greearb@v-ubuntu-14-04-i386:~$ pkill --version
pkill from procps-ng 3.3.10
greearb@v-ubuntu-14-04-i386:~$ 


But, exact same procps and test-pkill code works fine on Fedora-20:

[greearb@v-f20-32 ~]$ ./test-pkill 
System command failed: ERROR:  system command "pkill -f my-funky-cmdline" had return code: 1

 my-system rv: 256
[greearb@v-f20-32 ~]$ pkill --version
pkill from procps-ng 3.3.10
[greearb@v-f20-32 ~]$
