I'm not sure about this. It might be only a thread that freezes, it
might be the whole wmiirc. How can I find out?

I'm sorry to say this, but wmiirc still freezes when I send a client to
another view.

Normally, I don't get any error messages in the log file, only something
like `1] INFO -- : Retagging ["emacs"] => "2+emacs")'). But once, I
discovered this entry:
