Totally screwed up coastline. one way running 1 1/3rd around the island, 
end overlapping the start (id 10315160), one extra coastline way on the 
same nodes, reversed (id 25435734), and one smaller island next to 
Menorca with it's coastline reversed (id 10315187). No wonder nothing 
showed up on the map, no automatic parser could have made sense out of 
this mess.

Sorted.

Do not edit excessively long ways with potlatch without waiting a fair 
amount of time to allow for correct up/download, or you *will* make a 
mess, especially when editing coastlines.
