[mkgmap-dev] Problem using housenumber option

I think there is nothing to fix? If the addr:housenumber tag contains 
the value "fixme" it's a tagging error. Anyhow I will lower the log 
level of the error message.

Do you use preprocessed bounds? Which mkgmap parameters do you use?

addr:city is not evaluated for housenumber processing.
