 Ah right, of course.

 I see what you mean... is there a race here? With everything shutting
down I expect there's some activity on /event (DestroyClients at
least). wmii doesn't have a massive window to shut down between
wmiir's ixp_read()s, but I guess you don't need long to close a
socket.
 It's not obvious to me how you would get a broken pipe if the read
was pending when wmii quit.
