Not sure, if that is a bug at all. Matthias is correct about `time' being a reserved word, so there's no bug here. However, since `command' only inhibits shell function lookup, `command kill' will still invoke the builtin. If you want to invoke the executable `kill', you'll need to use its full pathname.
