[tmux-nicklist-portable.pl] - print() on closed filehandle $fifo at line 213

[needless]

This issue is not easy to reproduce so I try to explain the running environment first and when this issue specifically occurs. The running environment is:

Irssi v1.4.5

• ZNC has IRC user credentials and has active to the IRC network
• irrsi runs in tmux and is connected the lo loopback interface to locally running ZNC daemon

The running state is the IRC user session has been active for a long time (days/weeks). IRC connection drops and ZNC finished authenticating successfully.

After attaching the running tmux session the status logs writes following:

print() on closed filehandle $fifo at /home/needle/.irssi/scripts/autorun/tmux-nicklist-portable.pl line 213.
print() on closed filehandle $fifo at /home/needle/.irssi/scripts/autorun/tmux-nicklist-portable.pl line 213.
print() on closed filehandle $fifo at /home/needle/.irssi/scripts/autorun/tmux-nicklist-portable.pl line 213.
print() on closed filehandle $fifo at /home/needle/.irssi/scripts/autorun/tmux-nicklist-portable.pl line 213.

This does not happen when starting a new tmux session.

I try if it is possible to reproduce this without using ZNC. irssi directly connected to IRC network and needs to re-authenticate due to connection loss to IRC.

Debugging the plugins settings in the IRC channel, with Koffa. Relevant part of conversation:

 I was just looking at the signals it hooks up to and one is for switching windows. if tmux_away goes to its default window at the right time the fifo might not yet exist? 
/set tmux_away_window   ...  maybe setting tmux_away_grace to a few seconds could avoid the race? 

Before changing:

/set tmux_away
[misc]
                 tmux_away_active ON
                  tmux_away_grace 0
                tmux_away_message Catching ZZz's
                   tmux_away_nick 
                 tmux_away_repeat 180
                 tmux_away_window 1

Setting the tmux_away_grace to 5. /set tmux_away_grace 5

[misc]
                  tmux_away_grace 5

[needless]

For the log, after changing that particular line to

[misc]
        tmux_away_grace 5

this issue did not appear last 6 months.
