[OSM-dev] osm2pgsql: "unexpected chunk size"

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

    what does it mean when I get the following error message (last line) 
when running osm2pgsql on a current planet? Is it one of these "retry, 
then reinstall PostGIS from scratch" problems? Have I simply run out of 
memory?

Bye
Frederik
