The server is now back into a usable state, if you want to start mapping again.
Little warning though: relations are completely broken with Potlatch. Don't do anything with relations in there until it's fixed or you may completely destroy existing relations. In fact I think it's safer to not use Potlatch at all for now because you even can't see if you might break something...
