Ouch - I hadn't realised that. :)

The problem I saw was for local GPX files - I was generating them from GPS 
data stored in a database and had originally used a single <trk> 
containing many <trkseg> elements.  JOSM rendered them with every point 
joined to the next, even if those points were in separate <trkseg> 
elements.  I modified my GPX generator so that it used many <trk> 
elements, each with a single <trkseg> and JOSM rendered that correctly.

When I saw a similar problem with the data downloaded from the server, I 
assumed it was probably the same problem, but didn't investigate further.

Anyway, I'll grab the latest JOSM and hopefully it'll make some areas a 
lot more readable without all those crazy tracks - good stuff. :)
