Several posts on other lists are complaining of the same problem I am seeing.
The "mysqladmin -u root shutdown" command just hangs on both the 3.23.43 release and 4.0-alpha release for Mac OS X. Yes, I have verified that: 1) The root account in mysql has Shutdown privilege 2) Its not just the safe_mysqld or mysqld_safe startup scripts just spawning another mysqld I spent a full day in the source code and was able to trace through some of the code but no luck. Note: "mysqld.server stop" doesn't work since SIGTERM is mapped out.
