You can do the following unilt 3.23.45 is released (probably by the
end of this week).
Make a short perl program that executes
'FLUSH TABLES WITH READ LOCK'
followed by a kill -9 on the mysqld process.
If you know that no client is connected to mysqld, you can just do:
mysqladmin flush-tables
and then issue the kill -9

We run a lot of test on each MySQL release, and even alpha versions
are usually 'reasonable stable'; Even if many people are already using
4.0 in a production environment we encourage you to test it throughly
in your setup before converting to use this!
