I am the original poster, and it is confirmed that I was using the bash
built in kill.
$ kill -L
bash: kill: L: invalid signal specification
$ /bin/kill -L
1 HUP 2 INT 3 QUIT 4 ILL 5 TRAP 6 ABRT 7 BUS
8 FPE 9 KILL10 USR111 SEGV12 USR213 PIPE14

Bash own kill.

For completeness: I just noticed that the man page of kill has the
following sentence, so I'm pretty sure nothing needs to be changed in
it.
NOTES Your shell (command line interpreter) may have a built-in kill
command. You may need to run the command described here as /bin/kill to
solve the confli
Are you sure you are using /bin/kill? Some shells (including bash and
dash) have a builtin kill command which do not support -L.
