Yeah.  (Although that error in the client is "mostly harmless".)

Currently the "continent" field in the tile struct is an 
unsigned char, which limits us to 256-odd continents.  
(The server doesn't generate more real continents than 
this, but the client may see more "apparent" continents.)

There is probably no good reason not to make the continent
field say an unsigned short.
