Process won't exit on Linux

[sebakerckhof]

I have a simple test script like:

setTimeout(() => {
  process.exit(0);
},5000);

This works 100% of the times (after 5s the node process stops).

When I now include this library, like:

const usbDetection = require('usb-detection');

usbDetection.on('add', device => { console.log('added', device); } );
usbDetection.on('remove', device => { console.log('removed', device) });

setTimeout(() => {
  process.exit(0);
},5000);

The process hangs most of the times after 5s instead of exiting.

Seems related to: #2

Not sure this is related to #2. I have applied the PR listed in #2 and it fixes the 100% CPU spike, but the usb-detection module still prevents node from exiting once it is used, even after using the stopMonitoring function.

@sebakerckhof @falnos24865 What OS are you on? I suspect you are on Linux after experiencing something similar now.
