[OSM-talk] Strange artefacts in mapnik-rederings around (0,0)

[M∡rtin Koppenhoefer]

I had a problem with the last 2 planet-files with possibly some
antarctic borders that were connected to a Node (0,0) (maybe a similar
issue as the southpole problem mentioned here a while ago). You can
also see this problem in some of the current mapnik tiles, e.g.:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=0&lon=0&zoom=4&layers=M

Is this a known problem, do you know where it comes from and is there
a workaround? Will the next planet have the same issues?

Any help appreciated,

Cheers,
Martin
