Attempted to upload a large file. This file had been through shp2osm->osmosis->josm-validator (to remove duplicate nodes)->sed (to remove "action=modify" from the ways {produced by josm, but not handled by bulk_upload.py}). File is attached.
Tried using bulk_upload.py to upload, but after ~44k nodes, server returned an error 500, with a bunch of html being passed to bulk_upload.py. html is also attached, but it basically has a backtrace, with:

The application spawner server exited unexpectedly: Broken pipe

Exception class: PhusionPassenger::Railz::ApplicationSpawner::Error

Backtrace:

0 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/railz/application_spawner.rb 134 in `spawn_application'

3 /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/phusion_passenger/abstract_server_collection.rb 79 in `synchronize'

Changeset in question is: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/5503417

Since I wasn't at my computer to watch it, I don't know exactly when it happened, but it would have been slightly after the "closed at:" time in the changeset.
