Ah, I see the problem... It's not the code in the node that is at fault, 
it is the command set/badnode! This is now fixed in cvs/git. No restart 
required.

You may also find that a 'rej/spot node_default call_dxcc 666 or by_dxcc 
666' useful. This should remove all spots by countries that it doesn't 
recognise - HOWEVER - this may remove some actual DX (usually of the 
commemorative callsign type).
