Nice idea, but it does not work out. Aside from the fact that it would imply a serious bug in Perl's system("...") (which is a function so frequently used that it would have been noticed earlier - note that the argument to system *is* allowed to be a string representing a whole command line), it would not explain why the error occurs only for processes which have been finished. Aside of this, we can see from the previous output line that bkill *was* executed correctly, before the error message was displayed. So I guess almut's guess comes closer to the real explanation...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
