It's not supposed to kill PID and all its child processes, it's supposed to kill all the processes of pgid PID. Use ps -j to see the process group ids.

Quoting the standard: If the first pid operand is negative, it should be preceded by "--" to keep it from being interpreted as an option. Also, using a negative number for the pid arg actually refers to the process group ID.
