work with the proposed package.

Ah, sorry, my mistake. I didn't think that pgrep.c would be used for a
different command. Now I see that pkill is a symlink to pgrep in
/usr/bin.

Robie,
pgrep and pkill are sharing the same code. Essentially pkill runs pgrep
and then issues a kill signal to the resulting pid. Therefore this fix
applies to both pkill and pgrep. Additionally, the source of the problem
comes from the behavior of `sysconf(_SC_ARG_MAX)` changing in newer
kernels
> The problem is the same for other popular tools like pkill from the
same package.
The SRU uploads fix pgrep, but not pkill. Isn't pkill also affected?
Rather than fixing that in a separate SRU causing users to have to
update twice, should we be fixing both at the same time? Or are you
intending
I've sponsored the SRUs.
