leaked fd test program from LLDB test suite

Version: python27-2.7.9

LLDB recently added a test that the debugger is not leaking file descriptors
into child processes. This fails on FreeBSD, and the leaked fd comes from
Python's random. I've attached the test program from LLDB.

To reproduce:

- Build test program and confirm it returns 0:
% clang main.c && ./a.out
% echo $?
0

- Invoke it from python without using random and confirm it returns 0:
>>> import os
>>> os.system("./a.out")
0

- Invoke it from python with random:

>>> import os, random
>>> os.system("./a.out")
File descriptor 4 is open.
