No. It seems to happen more frequently on the FreeBSD port of OpenJDK.

I see that SelChImpl.kill() still declares throws IOException.

When you say "does not throw" you mean that the native implementation
for all OSes does not throw even if the signature declares it?
Would be it possible for other implementations (e.g. FreeBSD) to throw
and still comply with the signature, but be handled badly by common
OpenJDK classes?

Thanks!
