kill -9 restarts system?

Hey all,
I was wondering if anyone has ever come across this... I have a script that
looks like this :
for $p in prog1 prog2 prog3 prog4 ; do
ps | grep $p | sed 's/get_pid/kill -9 pid/' | sh
done
Essentially, this script (I cant remember what my sed stuff is, but it works)
will kill all of the processes in a list (prog1, prog2, prog3, etc).
This works well for the most part. BUT... every once in a while, my machine
reboots itself. It doesnt happen very often, but when it does, it happens with
no warning, all the way back to the BIOS load screen, as if I had just hit the
reset button on my puter.
Any insight?
Brian
