correct, i did not think of this.  Next discussions i'll put there.

Thanks for that hint.  I have changed the command line to use more cache with 
-C 4000.  This is just a guess, i hope it works.

I imported other OSM planet files before and never got that error.  It seems 
it is purely related to the amount of data?


Thanks for all the hints i got on this list,
Torsten.
