Package: psmisc
Version: 22.21-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

we wanted to kill stale programs with "killall --older-than".

This works just fine with locale "C":

# sleep 5 & LC_ALL=C killall --older-than 1h sleep
[1] 10858
sleep: no process found

But with our locale "de_DE.UTF-8" it also kills newly created processes:

# sleep 5 & LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8 killall --older-than 1h sleep
[1] 10711
[1]+  Beendet                 sleep 5

We would expect killall to work regardless of the used locale.
