Hi Andre,

Is there a public repository we can test and reproduce this on?

Which OS, C library and architecture? This might be a memory corruption issue inside SVN itself. I think last time we managed to avoid it by using a different build of SVN or Perl on OSX, but apparently somebody on Debian hit it in a very odd way too: http://bugs.debian.org/534763

I've never been able to see or reproduce this issue myself, maybe Marcus can help since he implemented this piece.
