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. This function call only exists in one place in the procps codebase, so no other commands are affected by the same issue.
