Skip Egdorf points out that the wording in question appears in the V7
manual, and wonders about V6.  Well, V6 didn't have process groups, but
we find the sentence:
	If the process number is 0, the signal is sent to all other
	processes with the same controlling typewriter and user ID.

Furthermore:
	In no case is it possible for a process to kill itself.

The manual page for kill(II) is dated 12/15/74.
