Description:
OS : SLES 10 64bit
MySQL 5.1.23 64bit (Linux non rpm package AMD/Intel 64bit)

Command "mysqladmin -S <SOCKET> shutdown" returns to shell with return code=0 without MySQL instance completely down and pid file not removed.

We tested with 5.1.23 32bit too and everything alright. Problem seems to be only in 5.1.xx 64bit.

How to repeat:
Repro with shell script:
  mysqladmin -S <SOCKET> shutdown
  ls -l <PID file>

According to MySQL Documentation for 5.1 (Chapter 4.5.2) when executing the script, PID file should not be found. But it does.
