Summary: iw bot doesn't detect edit conflict

Initial Comment:
interwiki bots read several pages at once and if the bot is delayed for some reason while processing these pages (network connection error or whatever other reason), it happens that the bot works on an outdated copy of the page (e.g. http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Basketball_Association&diff=47387879&oldid=47241804) and doesn't detect edit conflict when putting the updated page. This results in edits like this (http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=National_Basketball_Association&diff=47387879&oldid=47377836) that definitely should be avoided.

While this may sound a bit wieird, I confirm this : I've reproced this
several times in the past while testing rciw.py, where it eventually forced
me to implement the -safe argument. 

See for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&diff=213072670&oldid=213070816
: it looks like DumZiBoT is broken and removing some content. However, if
you do a diff with a 2 hours (!!!) older versions :
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Barack_Obama&diff=213072670&oldid=213051303
it makes sense.

See the edit history at this period :

Here is an other diff from kisbes' bot :
