Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: sysvinit
killall5 has a parameter called "-o" with which you can specify which
PIDs not to kill. If giving more than 16 such arguments, killall5 fails
with "killall5: omit pid buffer size 16 exceeded!" probably causing but
#616287.
At least, this behaviour should be documented in the manpage (it isn't).
Nice to have would be a bigger or an arbitrary limit.
