3. If after first login failure I retry with the same username (typing it by
hand or selecting "<<<<" from the ComboBox list), then after the second failure
item "<<<<" starts appearing in the list twice.
4. During next Skype launch I see these items aren't remembered and the list is
empty.

All this happens with winver set to 2000.  If I set winver to 98, the bug is
worked around.  Plus:

5, then "saulius2" appears in the list not corrupted.
6, after some unsuccessful tries to login (I purposely use wrong password) it
doesn't appear here in a multiple count.  
7, the username is remembered for a next Skype launch.
8, if I switch winver back to 2000, then "saulius2" appears in the list not
corrupted at startup.  But when I select it, the CombBox draws me only "s"
string.  And with it drawn I am unable to login again.

Waiting for debug suggestions.
