I posted this initially in newbies (because I am a noob and didn't  
know if this was a common query), but having received no reply, I'm  
casting the net a little wider...
I was just about to show a friend who lives in Rangoon, the  
surprisingly good maps of the area on OSM, when I loaded it up and was  
a bit horrified to find what looks to be a whole tile missing.
My guess is a corruption caused by someone entering Burmese script,  
but how can you check (and roll back) the history over a whole area?

The conspiracy theorist in me is mildly alarmed that someone from 'the  
regime' has just gone and deleted it all.
hmm - openstreetmap.org seems to be down at the moment - another  
'youtube'?
