[Openstreetmap] Strange OSM behaviour...

[nick at hogweed.org]

Have just encountered some slightly strange behaviour from OSM. Tried grabbing 
some nodes:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.2/map?bbox=-1,51,-0.9,51.03

and didn't get anything back, not even a blank <osm version='0.2'></osm>.
There should be some data in that region.

Also when I try out Freemap-OSM (http://www.free-map.org.uk/osm/), which calls 
the "map" API above, sometimes it grabs the data and sometimes it doesn't.

Is the server ok?
