Hello managers,

I don't understand why the Tru64 ksh coredumps with the following script:

#!/bin/ksh
kill -0

I believe this happens under V4.X up to V5.1B, and I can't find anything in the kill manpage to indicate that this is on purpose.
Does anybody have an explanation for this apparent misbehavior?

Best regards,
Michael
