[OSM-dev] Osmarender not always showing latest data

[Milenko]

Please note that the problem on my ROMA server has not yet been fixed.  The
server is building a new db, but it's taking time since it's also handing
out client requests.  The disk array has been very busy the last two days.
:)

I figured it would be better to leave the server online due to the large
queue that builds up when clients are handling prio 2 requests.

I can take it down though if everyone agrees that would be better, although
it's almost finished with the new db at this point.
