Seemingly simple shell commands taking forever

[techwhizbang]

I am using lein run -m to execute a simple database preparation task.
I issue 2 very simple commands that execute very fast on their on own
when executed in the shell. They also appear to execute very fast
based on the print output to stdout. However, the problem is that
after executing the 2 clojure.java.shell sh commands the process hangs
on way after it completes. So much so that it feels wrong.

Here is the gist. https://gist.github.com/1635837

PS I stripped down the database credentials so that it would be easily
runnable on anyone's machine so don't bother flaming me for using the
root user.

The agent thread pool is probably keeping the process open. Try calling
(shutdown-agents) when you're done.

This is a long-standing known bug/shortcoming in Clojure:

http://dev.clojure.org/jira/browse/CLJ-124

Thanks Phil, that was it exactly. Duly noted!
