You might also want to issue a 'save' in the telnet interface.

I solved my problem, but I'm not sure that these two things are related.  I 
start mldonkey in an init-script in /etc/rc.d/init and it used to be fine to 
start it with 'mldonkey&', but now it required 'mldonkey>/dev/null 
2>/dev/null&' in order for me to shut it down properly.

BTW, what's with the mlchat-thing? Is that only for mldonkey<->mldonkey chat 
sessions?
