FWIW, I just finished running 'make check' (ra_local/FSFS only) on
Subversion 1.2.1 with an in-tree APR 0.9.5 and Neon 0.24.7, all via
valgrind. (That is, I replaced 'svn' with a script that wrapped the
real svn executable with valgrind/memcheck. svnadmin was left unwrapped.)

I found nothing significant -- after almost 3,000 runs of 'svn', I only
hit a couple of one-time glibc memory leaks from gettext, setlocale,
getpwent and the like, and an unexpected SIGSEGV that I couldn't
reproduce. I didn't find any uninitialised reads, use-of-freed-memory,
or anything like that.

Now the fact that I didn't find _anything_ was a bit suspicious, but
I've double-checked what I did, and it seems correct (I configured
at the top level with --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-pool-debug=1;
APR_POOL_DEBUG=1 was defined for all the source files).

So perhaps not a memory corruption problem, or, rather, not one that
'make check' will trigger?

Malcolm
