If I create and run a program called abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz and then
try to kill it using killall, the only command that seems to work is:
killall abcdefghijklmnop
that is, it looks like killall only looks at the first 16 characters.  I
don't see anything about this is the man page.  Is this the appropriate
behavior?
