Is it possible for someone to grab the following data (the .osm file
produced is just 1259178 bytes).

This is the command line I used :

curl -L
"http://www.informationfreeway.org/api/0.6/map?bbox=2.3769,48.8421,2.4218,48.8672"
-o paris.osm

Then :
java -Xmx768M -jar mkgmap.jar --latin1 --mapname="09030406" paris.osm

If it gives :
Error at line 2539, col 92
Bad file format: paris.osm

Then the problem is from "planet osm", if not, it's a problem with my
Linux box. Thanks. Francois
