Error when using twice

[rleibman]

In a very inconsistent way, I get errors when trying ot use npm-cli-login twice. The first time it works ok, the second time I get

Incidentally, this also breaks the normal "npm login" mechanism, and I have to remove ~/.nmp* before I can log in again.

@rleibman The module is a wrapper around npm-registry-client. From the logs, it looks like something went wrong internally in their module. I will try to debug this, and hopefully stop it from corrupting your npmrc file. Thanks for letting me know. Will keep you posted.
