This is a very common problem, yes.  When starting mldonkey you need to
redirect both the stdout and stderr.  If you just redirect the stdout
then you get this problem with stopping mldonkey (and, IIRC, with
committing files).  Try starting mldonkey with one of the following:

        ./mldonkey > mldonkey.log 2> mld_err.log &
        ./mldonkey &> mldonkey.log &
        nohup ./mldonkey &

Cheers,
        Robin
