As the socket is inherited, the remote client will never exit.
If the popen is after a fork(), then it doesn't matter if safe_mysql doesn't
end, as the parent wouldn't be waiting on it.

My bet is in the socket not being closed, either in the parent, child, or
both, or before the execution of safe_mysql. (If mysqld inherits the socket,
then the connection won't close until mysqld does.)

Portugues: AH! that would be something :)
