Your URL appears to be completely bogus, which is the cause of your problem.

What has happened is that curl has tried to download http://www.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/ma which is not a valid URL so has produced a 404 response.

It has then tried to download 3428748554 which it seems to have interpreted as a hostname (presumably it decided to treat it as http://3428748554/) which is couldn't resolve.

Sorry, I pasted the wrong URL..

When I view the map at

http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=13.495&lon=144.832&zoom=10&layers=B000FTF

I selected a small area and with an export XML, it will return "500 - Internal Server Error"

http://api.openstreetmap.org/api/0.5/map?bbox=144.8161,13.4568,144.8909,13.5493

Curl returns the same error.

For other areas for Guam, it can be selected.

If I use JOSM, and select the whole region, I get the following error...

Server returned internal error. Try a reduced area or retry after waiting some time.

Downloaded smaller sections for a work around.
