using the following URL:

http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search/?format=xml&country=Germany&polygon=1

I receive Internal Error 500. Other contries (Holland, Norway, Kamerun, Russia) work fine, but a few countries (Germany and China atleast) seem to trigger someting bad when generating the result XML...

I'm rather certain that this has worked before...

The polygon parameter has trouble handling large areas and never really worked with multipolygons at all. Use one of the newer [http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Nominatim#Parameters polygon_* parameters] instead.

Fixed the 500 by disabling multipolygons completely.
