AutoExec.iss race

I've noticed that if I start multiple IS application instances in sequence, they sometimes race in Autoexec.iss and assign themselves the same name.

I'm unable to find an example/instructions in the wiki which explains if there is a standard return value on commands. I was hoping 'uplink name' had a return value indiciating if there is was a session bound to the name already.

This isn't big deal, as I expect at some point in the future there would be a means of assigning more stable names to sessions (e.g. a command line interface for the IS launching mechanisms).

For now I'll I stagger the starts, then it's not a problem.

Actually, someone reported this in IRC a day or two ago and I've already taken care of the problem for next build

There's several fixes waiting, I've just been busy in real life and I'm trying to finish up the tab control for ISUI. Hopefully it'll be up by today, but until then, yeah stagger the starts
