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.
