Subject: 1.3.20 : getpgid returns pid != -1 when specified pid no longer exists

Cygwin

Windows 2K box.

Process A creates Process B.

I kill Process B with a "kill -9 <process B's pid>"

Process A then does a:

sid = getpgid(pid));

pid is set to process B's pid

sid is not returned as -1, even though process B no
longer exists, as can be seen with a "ps" command.
This occurs repeatedly.

Is this correct behavior?
