isolates require double exit call

[AndreasMadsen]

Testcase:

var fork = require('child_process').fork;

if (process.argv[2] === 'child') {
  setInterval(function () {
    console.log('alive ... ');
  }, 200);

  setTimeout(function () {
    console.log('exit child');
    process.exit(0);
  }, 500);
} else {
  var child = fork(process.argv[1], ['child'], {thread: true});
}

Output:

> out/Release/node child/test6
alive ... 
alive ... 
exit child
alive ... 
alive ... 
alive ... 
alive ... 
alive ... 
alive ... 
alive ... 
alive ... 
^C

The child should die at exit child but do not.
However if using two process.exit(0) it do work:

  setTimeout(function () {
    console.log('exit child');
    process.exit(0);
    process.exit(0);
  }, 500);

@bnoordhuis told me it created more problems than it solved. Very sad :(
