URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/233002

Log:
  Remove impossible error condition from the man page.
  
  On FreeBSD, all processes have a process group, so it is impossible for
  kill(2) to fail this way.  POSIX also doesn't mention this error
  condition.
  
  Discussed on:	arch@
  MFC after:	3 weeks
