This should have worked, assuming that the process trying to execute the kill()
is running under the same USER.ACCOUNT as mychildpid.

This restriction has been relaxed on MPE/iX 6.5, and a user with SM capability
can kill() any process.

A patch is in the works to make the same change on MPE/iX 6.0.
