Yikes. That way is 8756 nodes long.

Potlatch isn't ever going to be able to edit a way of that size, I'm afraid.
You either need to use an offline editor like JOSM, which doesn't have the
restriction of running in a resource-limited browser plugin, or to get
someone (preferably the person who imported it ;) ) to write a script to
split it into ways of 2000 nodes or less, which is now the limit. (IMO 1000
is a best-practice maximum anyway.)
