      Bug #38629  	
      mysql-test-run.pl --start-and-exit starts but does not exit
      Instead, it hangs with ActiveState perl. The error is
      believed to be a bug in ActiveState implementation.
      Workaround is using POSIX::_exit, as described here
      http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=334610
      
      Thanks to Philip Stoev for the idea of the patch.
