I removed the Maps/OSM symlink, and did this change. It seems to work! :-)

I noticed another problem yesterday though. I worked around the
problem by making a symlink, and the program ran. I have
slightly more than 50.000 tiles. After a while, Yaouh had worked through
12000, updating about 4000. It seems 1 in 3 tiles were changed.

This took a lot of time, so I left it running overnight. It crashed
sometimes during the night, and the disk was not full.
The log file merely told that yaouh.py was
interrupted by a segmentation fault.

Could there be a memory leak? Or will yaouh use memory proportional to 
the number of tiles (or perhaps the number of out-of-date tiles)?

With 128M and 50000 tiles, there is no more than 2684 bytes per tile. So 
linear memory consumption will not work well.
