The script said which, but my tests showed, that this is not helpful. I 
found cases, where captionless is there and no tile, but both should be 
there. Other cases were reversed and so on. That's why I did not seperate 
these later on, as I could not think of a way to find out what reality 
should be. See e.g. the blue stripe in Antarctica. This is one of the 
cases where rendering captionless would have been enough. On the other 
hand many coastlines are the other way round.

Well for maplint I agree partly :-) But probably it is not worse to have 
maplint as well, as lots of these tiles seem to be created by either 
partly broken clients or result from missing server update triggers. So 
maplint will be old as well.

Well, that is possible. You only need to tell me the last number entered 
in the queue and we can restart there. But is it really necessary? The 
only thing I would change is the priority. And this only means that 
currently other prio 3 bulk request would be blocked. No big deal, isn't 
it?

The priority 3 was an error of mine. Was 4 first, but to check it tried 3 
temporary and forgot to reset :-)
