[OSM-talk] Query Overpass for multiple small areas

[James Conkling]

Yup, exactly, I was running many small queries in parallel.  Aggregating
them into one query resolved it.  If the query bbox grows too big--right
now looking at ~60% of the DRC, but will need to expand the query to run
across all of the Congo Basin--then I'll divide into country-sized queries
but be sure not to run them simultaneously.
