killall behaviour

Did you verify that hello exited due to a signal from killall?

When a process exits the shell does not always display the information 
immediately. Before display of next command prompt all job processes 
which exited are then displayed. This way it may look a process exited 
due to killall, but it has in fact exited due to some other reason. 
Please verify this, before we are looking for a bug.
