I had to reimplement MapOf in Python, as a tile file is not a single file anymore on the server, but needs to extracted from a tileset blob.
The PHP scrip couldn't do this, and as I have written the new server in python, I did a crude reimplementation of the thing in python.
It could only do PNG format and rounded up to the next 256 pixel size. As people have complained, I have rewritten the thing yesterday to support "jpeg" format and to return the correct image size. (The offset is still somewhat wrong though, so you won't get a perfectly centered image, patches welcome).

However, as the tah server became unresponsive yesterday (among other things SSH seems dead, so I can't log in anymore), I can't fix up things. And honestly, before fixing MapOf, I'd rather prevent the server from crashing to to memory outage.

Either:
- you wait until I get to it, when I can log into the server again
- use OJW's url to do it
- send patches that fix it and send back the correct image excerpt.
