Seems fix it for me. No more missing tiles with my previously-tested 
Benelux maps. For good measure, I also split and tested yesterdays 
europe.osm.bz2 (geofabrik): no problem there either.

Of course, I can't be entirely sure that there aren't any corner-cases 
left which still only fail with multiple threads. But for me, this works 
just fine. Thanks!

Regards,
Martin
