[Dxspider-support] Build number discrepancies

Hello Dirk and all,

Here running Spider v1.57 build 491.

I've discovered some discrepancies into the build number reported by the 
commands "sh/ver <node_callsign>" and the "rcmd <node_callsign> sh/ver".
Below an example:

sh/ver gb7djk
  Node      Version  Build  PC9X  via PC92
  GB7DJK       5457    417   Yes       Yes
  1 Nodes found
(IK5ZUK-1) de IK5ZUK-6 27-Jan-2023 1730Z dxspider >

rcmd gb7djk sh/ver
RCMD 'sh/ver' sent to GB7DJK
(IK5ZUK-1) de IK5ZUK-6 27-Jan-2023 1730Z dxspider >
GB7DJK:DXSpider v1.57 (build 488 git: mojo/93012682[r]) using perl 
v5.30.0 on Linux
GB7DJK:Copyright (c) 1998-2023 Dirk Koopman G1TLH

I'm sure the right build number is the one reported by the RCMD, i.e. 
the 488.

A strange thing is that after some time (an hour or two) the build 
number reported by "sh/ver" changes and become coincident to the one 
reported by the RCMD; after some time again, it changes again to another 
value (400 for example, sometimes) that is clearly wrong.

I've observed this "issue" starting from a few months ago, when I was 
keeping an eye to monitoring the italian nodes age for encouraging the 
sysops to update their nodes.

Could someone check on his node if this happens?

Thank you all.
