kill -1 -1
The V7 kill program will not take -1 as a processid. The kill system
call likes it just fine (it sends the signal to all processes except
0 and 1) but kill(1) thinks it is syntactically invalid. The fix for
this is to change the line:
if (**argv<'0' || **ARGV>'9')
to something like:
if (!isdigit(**argv) && **argv != '-')
(NB if you use isdigit rather than the explicit 0 and 9, you'll need
to #include <CTYPE.H>.)
