Hello!
When retrieving information about network interfaces on Windows we make
up to 2 attempts to call GetAdaptersAddresses().
It was reported that in very rare cases it may not be sufficient, and
even the second attempt can fail with ERROR_BUFFER_OVERFLOW.
I suggest that we follow the recommendation given in MSDN [1]: increase
the initial buffer size to 15K and do up to 3 attempts to call
GetAdaptersAddresses().

Would you please help review the fix?
