Warnings when using death tests on Linux

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Google Test produces the following warning for every death test on Linux:

[WARNING] .../gtest/src/gtest-death-test.cc:825:: Death tests use fork(), which 
is unsafe particularly in a threaded context. For this test, Google Test 
couldn't detect the number of threads.

Here's the code that reproduces the problem:

TEST(Test, Death) {
  EXPECT_DEATH(exit(1), "");
}

This is trivially fixed with the attached patch.

I'm using Google Test 1.7.0.
