Probably, but I haven't looked very closely at the source. What seems to
happen is that the irc server sometimes just "traps" the bot and doesn't
let it join a channel, I haven't found out why. Often it happens for a
couple times so I need to restart the bot till it clear up.

Yeah, that is probably better. I thought the screen idea was nicer since
you can in principle share it, but apparently that doesn't work well
when su-ing to a different user since screen gets confused about the
controlling terminal.
