Technomancy

In my quest for creating an offline atlas of the world that can given away for free, I've been trying to use navit, an open source satnav system. They have a very compact file format for OpenStreetMap files. I downloaded the latest OpenStreetMap planet dump, planet-090701.osm.bz2, (MD5 checksum: 9133f22e4d09b73f86e1f4d68539879d) and ran osm2navit on it. As soon as I started to run it, I got thousands and thousands of errors like this:

WARNING: unknown tag in   <changeset id="1696734" created_at="2009-07-01T00:10:10Z" closed_at="2009-07-01T00:10:14Z" open="false" min_lon="9.5064856" min_lat="52.7634646" max_lon="9.6230595" max_lat="52.8229376"  user="mfi" uid="58950">
WARNING: unknown tag in   </changeset>

However I let it run, and after about 2 hours, osm2navit crashed and I got the following error:

PROGRESS1: Processed 378663035 nodes (14343033 out) 29925604 ways 140057 relations 0 tiles

osm2navit: osm2navit.c:1642: load_buffer: Assertion `b->base != ((void *)0)' failed.
Aborted

And that's where I am now. I think it might be because OpenStreetMap have moved to a new file and API format, 0.6, and perhaps osm2navit hasn't been updated.
