Not for me: after upgrading from Debian Unstable current snapshot
(3.6~rc2+20070501-1) to latest official one (3.6pre~20070511), I still
have the same $DOWN... problem (and another one, see below).

Thanks for these useful explanations.

I also noticed a more annoying problem with wmiirc from the latest snap.
The eval line used to be:

  eval "$(eventstuff | sed "s/\\\$MODKEY/$MODKEY/g;s/^[ ]//" | wmiiloop)"

in previous versions (with IFS='' and unset IFS surrounding it, but
removing them doesn't seem to make any difference).

In the latest version, it is :

eval "$(eventstuff | sed 's/^[ ]//' | wmiiloop)"

and this more or less crashes (or stucks) wmii : the mouse pointer
moves, but the keys do not respond and the status bar stays white. The
processes have to be killed by hand. Reverting to the previous one seems
to fix the problem, but the $DOWN... issue is still there.

I also tried the new eval from latest official snap with Debian's wmii
and it also crashes, so this doesn't seem directly related to wmii
itself.

I do not know if the $DOWN... problem is related to this one or not.

Hope my explanations were clear ; I can do other tests if needed.

Best,
