Problem
As discussed in #848 (comment), the test I am changing fails in a flaky way due to
mysql_close
sending a quit command without waiting for a response, so the following query for the Threads_connected can return a count that includes the connection that was been closed on the client side.Solution
Give the server a second to detect and response to the client closing the connection by using the
SHOW PROCESSLIST
command to check if the server still thinks the client is connected.I wrapped the contents of the test in a loop as I commented in #848 (comment) to confirm that this deals with this type of flaky test failure.
