One further piece of information. I tried running the
stress test stress.pl on this repository.
The result was as follows:
...huge list of all the files it checked out...
Checked out revision 22.
Malformed UTF-8 character (unexpected end of string)
at ./stress.pl line 254, <FOO> line 9067.
...last line repeated multiple times, then...
Segmentation fault
However, I can't seem to find any core files that
relate to subversion -- a search of the entire
filesystems produces only:
/dev/core
/proc/sys/net/core
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/include/gnu/gcj/protocol/core
/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-28.9/net/core
/opt/j2sdk_nb/jwsdp-1.3/docs/api/javax/servlet/jsp/jstl/core
