I am trying to use JOSM for offline editing and osm.pbf files created by splitter r427 cause this error when importing into JOSM r9329 with the pbf import plugin:

Could not read file '12360002.osm.pbf'.
Error is:
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0

I think I saw a post that there might be missing meta data from the osm.pbf files produced by splitter.

JOSM has a max of 50000 node for input files.

Is there a different 'splitter' that JOSM can import?
