(IMHO, it's really embarrassing that there *still* are those "Who's ever going to need more than 640KB memory" type bugs.)
** Description changed: 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 + with "killall5: omit pid buffer size 16 exceeded!" probably causing bug #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.
