Preventing the creation of backup files when using :if-exists :new-version

I've noticed that CMUCL (I'm running it on debian) creates backup
files (i.e., tilde suffix copies, similar to the Emacs default
behavior when saving a file) when I write to a file output stream with
the :if-exists :new-version parameters.

Is there a way to turn this off?
