Bug Description

Normally when running under windows i seem to remember if you double clicked the EXE when it was already running, you got a popup saying you ain't allowed multiple instances, and the current instance was brought to the front. This seems to have either disappeared or is faulty under wine.
It is also allows two instances if you startup another one before the first has finished loading. e.g. double click the exe twice.

On WinXP under normal circumstances its not possible to run two DC++ with same user.
It is how ever possible as stated above to start a second process if the first has not finished loading, not sure what stage it needs to pass as I havent checked, but in order to actually make it run twice I had to create a small batch file
as I was not able to double click twice fast enough :)

a simple bat file with the contents:

start /B dcplusplus.exe
start /B dcplusplus.exe

will start two instances on my system.
