[Dxspider-support] load keps from message

[Steven Franke]

I just discovered that when loading keps from a message, it is  
necessary to issue two commands, e.g.:

load/keps nnnn
load/keps

The first "load/keps nnnn" apparently writes the /spider/local/ 
Keps.pm file, but does not actually "load" the new Keps. After the  
second "load/keps" command, the new keps are loaded and the age of  
the keps is correctly reported by sh/sat.
