Hi Robert,

Yes, that file contains lot's of duplicate ways/nodes sitting on top of
each other so it will never be able to be sub-divided (hence mkgmap
blows up). Personally, I don't think we need to fix mkgmap to handle
this because the data is obviously crap. What I can do is put in some
code to detect this situation and issue a more useful error message
before it bombs out.

BTW if you download the same area, all the crap has gone away.

Cheers,

Mark
