[Openstreetmap] My first GPX upload.. possible problems

After much procrastination I've uploaded the first of my GPX trails to
OSM.. and I fear I may have broken the server.

The file was track-trial-20050405aw.gpx.gz, a GPX 1.0 file with approx
20000 points in a single trkseg.

The following url for instance does not return an image:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/edit/viewMap.jsp?searchTerm=52.540013
+1.846661&searchType=Lat%2FLon&from=frontpage

Those firing up the applet from that page shows no points, which I
believe centres it on that area. Does this mean the file didn't upload
correctly?

Have I done something incorrectly? Or does the new map rendering code
not return an image for areas without map segments?

Finally, one aspect of which I'm uncertain is the jumps in my data. The
software I've used does not split the <trk> into multiple <trkseg>
elements, will this be a problem?

If everything is OK I will upload the remainder of my trails later today
- approx 200 000 points, covering Birmingham and surrounding motorways.

Regards

Alex
