'kill' has an interesting return value when the signal that is sent to
another process is 0; it tells the caller whether that process is
running. But guile's posix wrapper around kill always returns
SCM_UNSPECIFIED, which IMHO is a bug.

My bogometer indicates that you're really programming in some other
language and trying to force Common Lisp into your mindset. This
won't work.
