(er)    38:     running foul ->  running afoul

<http://www.projectaon.org/test/en/xhtml/lw/18dotd/sect38.htm>

(If this last one seems out of place here, bear in mind that it affects a
number of the later books as well, so let's get a resolution and put this
issue to bed!)

I'm about to dash out the door, so I'll respond to more later, but
this idiom is OK as-is. Here's what dictionary.com has:

40. run foul / afoul of, to come into collision or controversy with:
to run foul of the press.
(http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/foul)

Hmm, strange, but it does seem to be OK. Well, that's about half-a-dozen more issues resolved in one go.
