[OSM-talk] 412 failure when deleting nodes in josm

As far as I know, we have 6 mappers around and 2 who are most active
at the moment, so I doubt it is because of two mappers working at the
same area.

This might be what's causing the problem, I use the validator plugin
to automatically fix duplicate nodes
