Osmosis - Can't split old OSM dump with .poly-file

Hey guys,

Trying to split a planet dump from before the earthquake in Haiti, I am undergoing some trouble. I am using a .poly-file from Geofabrik and the planet dump is from the 6th January 2010. I am using the latest Osmosis version (0.43) with the following command:

osmosis --read-xml file="planet-100106.osm" --bounding-polygon file="haiti-and-domrep.poly" --write-xml file="haiti-100107.osm" -v5

Osmosis will start doing something for 5 minutes to 2 hours and then sooner or later give out the following Error. Do you have any ideas why this is happening? I am desperate!

G:\>OSM_CutHaiti.bat

G:\>osmosis --read-xml file="planet-100106.osm" --bounding-polygon file="haiti-a
nd-domrep.poly" --write-xml file="haiti-100107.osm" -v5
