More weirdness with svnsync. In trying to sync the gcc repository, I get
consistent segfaults using a trunk build of svnsync. This is a transcript of
the session:
$ ~/dev/svn-trunk/subversion/svnsync/svnsync sync \
file:///home/hwright/test/gcc.bdb
Copied properties for revision 8132.

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

It gets through one revision, and then crashes. It doesn't crash on *every*
revision, but for this repository in this case it is behaving that way. This is
a transcript of a gdb session.

This is the point that I get lost, not having any experience with svnsync.
Could somebody with more knowledge take a look? Would it be better filed as an
issue in the the bug tracker?
