Tk (it's not under Exmh's control) didn't remove its registration entry from 
the database stored on the root window when it exited; this database is how 
Tk's "send" command knows what programs can accept "send"s, and each intance 
of a given program gets a new name so only one prgram will ever be listening 
with a particular name.  I'd be tempted to suggest running this problem by 
comp.lang.tcl instead of the Exmh mailing list...
