Hi Brett,

The OSM file was erroneous, something went wrong in creating it
(probably not made using Osmosis). I was hoping to have osmosis deal
with this and still work. But...

...actually, now that I see that a normal OSM file shouldn't be in
this situation I realise I should fix my OSM file, rather than try to
patch osmosis.

Thanks.
