On the main list I already mentioned why this not the way to go. You don't
need to know *all* nodes in memory. You need to set a bounding box (based
on next and previous segments), this reduces the the requirement memory
and is able to 'stream' the through the AND file, with (indexed-)lookups
in the output OSM file.
