wmii-hg broken?

Hi there!

After starting my computer today there was something strange. All looked good except the wmii status bar. Because there wasn't any. I defined it with this code:

WEATHERFILE="/rbar/zzz-weather"

# Status Bar Info
status() {
        STATUSDATE=$(date +"%A, %d. %B %Y, %V. Woche, %H:%M Uhr")
        STATUSWEATHER=$(cat /home/dirk/.weatherinfo)
        echo -n $STATUSDATE
        echo "$STATUSWEATHER" | wmiir write ${WEATHERFILE}
}

local_events() { true;}
wi_runconf -s wmiirc_local

echo $WMII_NORMCOLORS | wmiir create $noticebar
echo $WMII_NORMCOLORS | wmiir create ${WEATHERFILE}

It worked with this code since i set it up like this and created a status bar containing the notice bar, the date and time in the defined format and the weather info gathered from .weatherinfo file.

But now there is only …

$ wmiir ls /rbar
!notice
zzz-weather

In addition to this, the following part of my configuration seems to be ignored

wmiir write /ctl <<!
        [other stuff that works]
        colmode default
!

Yesterday before shutting down my computer in the evening it worked as expected.

$ uname -rm
2.6.31-ARCH x86_64

pacman -Qi wmii-hg | grep Version

What do i have to do to get the status bar and the colmode setting working again?

TIA,

Re: wmii-hg broken?

Update: This seems to happen on x86_64 only. A i686 system running the same configuration works as expected.
