deep recursion in cwm

Hi all,

I just wanted to report a small problem with a deep recursion, and
another one about self referential bnodes that might be interesting.

First the simple one,
"""
_:a1 <#:next> _:a1; <#:val> "foo".
_:a2 <#:next> _:a3; <#:val> "foo".
"""
produces """
     @prefix : <#> .
      [  ::next  [   ];  ::val "foo" ].
"""

that would be better if it produced :
"""
     @prefix : <#> .
      _:a1 <#:next> _:a1; <#:val> "foo".
      [  ::next  [   ];  ::val "foo" ].
"""

The second bug is a bunch of statements like this :

perl -e 'print "\@prefix : <file:/tmp/foo>.\n";for(1...10000){my
$n=$_;$n1=$n+1;print "_:a$n <:next> _:a$n1.\n"}' > test.n3

that produces the crash

line 961, in relativeURI
    if string.find(base, "//", i-2)>0 \
RuntimeError: maximum recursion depth exceeded


which produces :
   [      <:next>  [
                 <:next>  [
                     <:next>  [
                         <:next>  [
                             <:next>  [
                                 <:next>  [
                                     <:next>  [
                                         <:next>  [
                                             <:next>  [
                                                 <:next>  [
                                                 ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ].


I would suggest to have cwm to just break off the list when the stack
gets to large. Let assume that we have a max depth variable that is
checked before recursion.

Introducing a _:genidNNN in between. So lets say in this example, the
max depth was 5. 

   [      <:next>  [
                 <:next>  [
                     <:next>  [
                         <:next>  [
                             <:next>  _:genid123
                                  ]
                               ]
                          ]
                   ]
   ].
  _:genid123      <:next>  [
                 <:next>  [
                     <:next>  [
                         <:next>  [
                                  ]
                               ]
                          ]
                   ].
