As the one annotating that part of the map, I can confirm that it did
not look like that when I made it.

I guess someone messed up somewhere else, and used IDs located in
Oslo.  There have been rumors about applications clipping long lines
and ending up with bogus segment IDs, but I hoped those times were
behind us now.

Happy hacking,
