Depends on the scope in which the block will be evaluated. Since kill
is being called with no receiver, its implicit receiver will be the
object in which it is evaluated, so you can mock it on that object,
e.g:

class Foo
  def bar
    yield
  end
end

foo = Foo.new
foo.should_receive(:kill)
foo.bar { kill(333) }

Not sure if that aligns with your situation, but that should give you an idea.

HTH,
David
