Subject: "warning: fork terminates thread"

I'm not really troubled by this much, but I want to understand it.

Apparently there's no way to carry a running thread across a fork.
This is fine -- no one should try that anyway IMO.

My concerns are:
1. The phrasing makes it sound as though the thread in the parent
    process is terminated when a fork happens. This, fortunately,
    is not the case.
2. Sometimes I get this message when I think there should be no
    threads still running. Is it possible that the thread is a
    "false positive" or something? Is there such a thing as a
    zombie thread?
3. And finally, is there a way to disable this specific warning?


Thanks,
Hal
