I tried it again, with the newest version of overpass. The import
process works fine, and it does not consume too much memory. But the
result is strange:

overpass.urlaun.osm.ch/api/interpreter?data=%5Bdate%3A%222015-01-01T00%3A00%3A00Z%22%5D%0A%5Bout%3Axml%5D%3B%0A%28node%2846.94253409933404%2C7.443130016326904%2C46.94333708709567%2C7.444107681512832%29%3B%3C%3B%29%3B%0Aout%20meta%3B

This gives many errors of the form

<remark> runtime error: Way 201886770 cannot be expanded at timestamp
2015-01-26T11:33:18Z: Bad geometry for way 201886770 </remark>

Before I start debugging, do you have any comments about that issue? The
naked numbers before and after such error messages, what do they mean?

It works without the [date:"..."]

overpass.urlaun.osm.ch/api/interpreter?data=%5Bout%3Axml%5D%3B%0A%28node%2846.94253409933404%2C7.443130016326904%2C46.94333708709567%2C7.444107681512832%29%3B%3C%3B%29%3B%0Aout%20meta%3B

Thank you
