Actually last snap contains the last line, but it is wrong.
First of all, the 'exec wmiirc' make the current wmiir read /event
context a zombie, second it completely breaks the possibilty to
run wmiirc cleanly from wmiimenu or your shell, thus I changed
the mechanism back to the pidfile handling.

If something does not work on your box, we should investigate
further into these issue. Please recheck with hg tip if things
work for you. Thanks.
