yes, I didn't actually check it on the device, but the tiles in France 
are now never empty, so I think it's highly unlikely to run into the bug 
again (only if people added loads of open sea map data).

I think that sounds very cool as an option. It could be switched off if 
you play a lot - but then in generall, splitter is much faster than 
mkgmap anyhow, so it's rather seldom that it would matter to me...
