 Note that pickup mode 4 (old server and client for that matter) was always the
pickup all mode.  If the client is sending mode 5, then it is getting expected
behaviour.

 Pickup is one of the commands that actually has help for it:

'pickup' changes how you pick up items when you step on them.
to pickup an item manually, use the ',' key.

Mode 0: Don't pick up items.
Mode 1: Pick up one item
Mode 2: Pickup up one item and stop
Mode 3: Stop before picking up items
Mode 4: Pick up all items
Mode 5: Pick up all items and stop
Mode 6: Pick up all magical items
Mode 7: Pick up all coins and gems

Modes above 7: Pickup items with
a value density greater than the pickup mode.

Value density is value in gold/weight in kilograms.

The value in gold is what the item is worth if you
sold it in the shop.

Goldcoins have a value density of 66,

Density 10 will pickup silver, gold,
rings, wands, books, and scrolls.
Artifacts are also picked up.
