I just shut down the debugger so I could get work done. ;)

I had imported a large directory tree and the "committed" message was about
to be printed. This is happening in the code that gets a translation handle
to convert from UTF8 to CP1252 to print the message to the console. The key
pointer in the hash entry was pointing to unallocated memory after the hash
table. From what I could discover statically, the key is allocated from the
same pool using the APR strcat function. I wasn't able to discover where it
would get freed and thought perhaps it was garbage-collected with the pool
destruction.

Meanwhile, I used gflags.exe to request pageheap processing on svn.exe, so
guard pages will get put around kernel-level allocations and kernel-level
frees will happen immediately. This may help to uncover where the premature
free is happening.
