[OSM-dev] Problems with TIGER Conversion

I have been used Dave Hansen's converter (version 0.2) to try and
convert the TIGER zip files to osm files.

My first try was for Lake County, IL, which is IL/TGR17097.ZIP.

It created the file TGR17097.osm.xml which I opened in JOSM to view.

When I looked at the file, I could see the shape of the county
properly but when I zoomed in I noticed that it was all just really
disjointed and none of the ways were connected properly. The points
were in the right place, but it looked like the ways were just
randomly being connected.

I was just wondering if this was a problem on my end or on the part of
the converter.
