Yes, I see the problem when I start fluidsynth *with* interactive
shell and -s. When I type "quit" on the interactive shell, then
FluidSynth doesn't exit properly but waits for the server thread to
join(). The reason seems to be that the server thread is blocking in
the accept() call. Only if I telnet into the port (and therefore
trigger accept() to return) does FluidSynth actually exit. This
happens to me on Ubuntu 20.04 with FluidSynth compiled from the
current master.

I just tried it with 2.2.1 and got the same result: when I type
"quit", FluidSynth doesn't exit but waits for the accept() to return.
And I don't see any ifdefs for WIN32 around this call... really weird.
Is Windows handling thread joining differently and actually terminates
a thread blocking in IO when calling fluid_thread_join()?

Yes, that works for me as well. But I do understand Bens request for a
new command that actually terminates the whole FluidSynth server and
not just the current telnet shell. Maybe we could implement a
"shutdown" command?
