ok - sounds reasonable.
I tried to track down, where the broken member could be. It seems to be
somewhere in relation 20614 (network "Bundesautobahnen"). But this relation
contains 105 other relations - each with up to 1000 members (ways).
Is there a way to find the faulty relation/way/node and fix it?

I would really like to improve the hierarchy of relations, but this is hard, if
the top (for Germany) of it is read-only :(

regards,
Lars
