[OSM-talk] Cannot correct ring self intersection

The error message was misleading and has been changed a while ago. If 
you have a recent JOSM version, the message you'll see is: "You must 
select two or more nodes to split a circular way".

Which is quite obvious. If you have a way A-B-C-D-E-A and are told to 
split that circular way "at node C", how could you do it?
