If that's truly the case, that's either a bug in the kill command or
the kernel, not a bug in tshark; tshark cannot magically arrange that
the kill() system call deliver a signal to a process other than the
one whose PID was handed to the system call.
I suspect, however, that what's happening is something other than the
signal being delivered to the wrong process, as it's unlikely that
your OS kernel or kill command would be that strangely broken.
