If it does, use OSMCoastline instead.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSMCoastline

It has been supplying Geofabrik map and tile.openstreetmap.de now for nearly
a year without any problems.

You can download the coastlines from http://openstreetmapdata.com/ , they are
updated daily, unless there is some big problem with broken data in which case
the old version is kept.
