When reconnecting while a stale bot process uses the registered nick, the fresh bot process gets assigned a fall-back nickname with an appended underscore.
Instead, the bot should regain its registered nick via NickServ. Replace proto.Recover, to be used when nick in use on nick change.

Seems to be related to 36e972ddf9 where I say 'REGAIN does not work'. I did not describe what happens if one tries and I can't remember. REGAIN should be re-investigated: it might have been a network-specific problem.
