here's the result of the ktrace of killall ("ciao" does not exists, but same 
happens with existing processes) :

...
   557      1 killall  CALL  write(2,0xbfbfcb30,0x18)
   557      1 killall  GIO   fd 2 wrote 24 bytes
       "ciao: no process killed\n"
   557      1 killall  RET   write 24/0x18
   557      1 killall  PSIG  SIGSEGV SIG_DFL: code=SEGV_MAPERR, 
addr=0x666d5f00, trap=6)
   557      1 killall  NAMI  "killall.core"

Here's the result of gdb:
