Error OsmosisRuntimeException: Cannot represent 89962 a s a char.

Hello

I have got an error while trying to merge two osm data files as follows:

org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.OsmosisRuntimeException: Cannot represent 89962 as a char. at org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.util.IntAsChar.intToChar(IntAsChar.java:32) at org.openstreetmap.osmosis.core.domain.v0_6.Way.store(Way.java:200)

In the mail archive of openstreetmaps stored similar issues, but link to patches is broken and last osmosis build 0.40.1 and build from github sources reproduce error as well
http://www.mail-archive.com/dev@openstreetmap.org/msg09679.html
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/osmosis-dev/2011-March/000961.html

command line for merging is

D:\temp\osmosis_latest\osmosis_src\package\bin\osmosis.bat --read-xml enableDateParsing=no file=map_track_klimec.osm outPipe.0=1 --read-xml enableDateParsing=no file=strm_klimec.osm outPipe.0=2 --sort type="TypeThenId" inPipe.0=1 outPipe.0=3 --sort type="TypeThenId" inPipe.0=2 outPipe.0=4 --merge conflictResolutionMethod=version inPipe.0=3 inPipe.1=4 outPipe.0=5 --write-xml file=all_klimec.osm inPipe.0=5

first file is osm part of country map and second osm, that represent rtsm data

Osmosis stores the number of way nodes as a char which has a maximum size of 64K. This is not an issue unless broken data is entered into the OSM database.

If this becomes a common issue, Osmosis can be patched to treat the way node count (and relation member count) as a 32-bit integer but I'm hesitant to make this change for what appears to be a one-off (or perhaps two-off ...) incident.
