FOAFBot lives, nearly
I had another go at getting edd's FOAFbot running again with the updated Redland 0.9.12 API and it now seems to not crash as much after I hand-edited some bugs that it found in the latest version. This is a good thing since I found the bugs and fixed them. Of course that just leaves the issue of why it runs and doesn't work.
