ForkedFunc raises EOFError if function exits with status 0 #261

Description

@vermaport

waitfinish() assumes that if the forked child process exited with exitstatus == 0, that _child() ran to completion and wrote out the retval. This is not true if the function run in the child process hard exited with status 0, e.g. os._exit(0) (or even sys.exit(0)).

I added a new test for this and will submit a PR to fix the issue shortly.
