After log_tests.py fails if I try

$ cd subversion/tests/clients/cmdline
$ svn ci working_copies/log_tests/

I get the same "out of date" error. However if I use the
electric-fence malloc/free debugger the commit succeeds:

$ LD_PRELOAD=libefence.so.0.0 svn ci working_copies/log_tests/

Now since the memory pools reuse malloc'd memory without free'ing it
(which is perfectly acceptable) they defeat much of electric-fence's
checking. However electric-fence will cause the memory to be allocated
differently, in particular it will use more and spread it more
widely. This behaviour is with pristine subversion code, no local
changes.

I conclude that the problem is not my configuration or build, but that
there is a bug in the pool code, or a pool memory overwrite somewhere
in the subversion code, and my setup just happens to trigger it.
