Thank you for your bug report. This issue has been committed to our
source repository of that product and will be incorporated into the
next release.

If necessary, you can access the source repository and build the latest
available version, including the bugfix, yourself. More information 
about accessing the source trees is available at
    http://www.mysql.com/doc/en/Installing_source_tree.html

Additional info:

I don't know what causes this problem (calling mysql.server stop from the command line doesn't quit the server either), so I have added a call to "mysqladmin shutdown" as a fallback, which has worked in my tests.

I'll mark the bug as Closed, but please reopen it version 1.0.8-beta doesn't fix the problem for you.
