[Dxspider-support] Security problem

[Luigi - IK5ZUK]

Hello Mike,
this is a new feature implemented: now, as default, the bumping is allowed.
You can disable this (and so you return at the old system) by adding the
following line in your /spider/scripts/startup file:
set/var $main::bumpexisting = 0
