Details:

When the list of configured nicknames is exhausted, generate new alternatives
based on the primary nickname. An algorithm based on irssi would work: keep
appending an underscore until the nickname is at least 9 characters long, then
truncate to 9 characters and overwrite a number at the end of the nickname.

e.g. irc.server_default.nicks = "abc,def,ghi,jkl"
Try:
abc
def
ghi
jkl
abc_
abc__
abc___
abc____
abc_____
abc______
abc_____1
abc_____2
...
abc____99

Reconnecting repeatedly just because there are no more nicknames to try isn't
appropriate behaviour.

-- code snippet from function.c:1475++

  /* make sure that CreateProcess() has Path it needs */
  sync_Path_environment();

  if (!process_begin(hProcess, command_argv, envp, command_argv[0], NULL)) {
    /* register process for wait */


 The sync_Path_environment() sets PATH variable to environment, but the
process_begin() is called with previously stored envp, so the PATH is set
wrong for the first process_begin() call. 

I would suggest moving the call to sync_Path_environment() before storing the
envp, see the patch attached. 

Easy way to demonstrate the difference is following Makefile with native-win32
version:

export PATH=c:/tmp
$(warning $(shell path))
$(warning $(shell path))


(file #11414)

OK, I applied this patch.
