On a recent install of Slackware64-current (15.1), 'Gave up waiting for mysql to exit'

I just installed -current from a .iso I downloaded a few days ago. The install was into a pristine VirtualBox VM.

On halting/reboot, after a minute's wait, I get the message:

Code:Gave up waiting for mysqld to exitThere are quite a few references to this issue, but most, if not all, refer to changing
mysqldbd into mariadbd killalls.

I checked /etc/rc.d/rc.mysqld and found that the actual implementation is using kill $PID instead of killall.

Code: cat /var/run/mysql/mysql.run
1091
$ kill 1091
(seems to have no effect - the daemon is still running)What's wrong here?
