[mkgmap-dev] no cities found on large areas with --x-split-name-index option

Hi,

I ran into a problem with the --x-split-name-index option. When I build the
geofabrik extract for Ontario with the following options, the 'Where to ->
Cities -> Spell Name' works properly.

java -jar splitter/dist/splitter.jar --geonames-file=cities1000.zip
--output=o5m --mapid=20244000 --max-threads=1 --status-freq=0
--max-areas=50 ontario-latest.osm.pbf

java  -jar  mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --route --add-pois-to-areas
--bounds=bounds_20160628.zip --index --gmapsupp --housenumbers -c
template.args --x-split-name-index --description="Ontario Test"

When I build the geofabrik extract for Canada with the same options, the
'Where to -> Cities -> Spell Name' doesn't work.

java -jar splitter/dist/splitter.jar --geonames-file=cities1000.zip
--output=o5m --mapid=20244000 --max-threads=1 --status-freq=0
--max-areas=50 canada-latest.osm.pbf

java  -jar  mkgmap/dist/mkgmap.jar --route --add-pois-to-areas
--bounds=bounds_20160628.zip --index --gmapsupp --housenumbers -c
template.args --x-split-name-index --description="Canada Test"

For the map of Canada, the cities still show up in the list but they aren't
found if you search for them. Removing --x-split-name-index fixes the
problem. It's not a huge issue because I can just remove this option but I
did want to report the problem to you.

Thanks, Ben
