I'm always eager to read instructions, but there's no mention of --mixed 
on the splitter instruction page at 
http://www.mkgmap.org.uk/page/tile-splitter

Anyway...

I've also compiled other contour maps fine without using --mixed (though 
in those cases I was using my own areas.list).

The --help output for splitter, on the subject of --mixed, says: 
"Specify this if the input osm file has nodes, ways and relations 
intermingled".  Should it actually say "Specify this if the input osm 
file has nodes, ways and relations intermingled and you are not 
providing your own areas definitions through the --split-file option"?
