There is a logic error here. How does removing duplicates remove an
entire city of streets?
Mike has reimported the streets overnight, using the original data, and
they are slowly being rendered.

The most polite thing that I think may have happened is for two
"duplicate node removers" to have decided to attack the area at once. 
The result was devastation of the map in that area.

I don't like 'duplicate node removing' scripts or bots. Duplicate nodes
may well have a function, or may not be duplicate at all.
