Hi Simon,
sorry that it took me so long to react.
I've basically been sick for the last 2 weeks.

Great news! Thanks for your patience.

The reason is / was that the "edit file" command
got executed in the repobrowser's message loop -
blocking all other events until the editor was
closed. I changed that in r19948.

This could happen if there is a hole in my temporary
working copy code. Possibly some file access race.
I will have a look at this next weekend.

Hm. That sounds like a problem with the SVN libs.
However, I cannot reproduce it.

It makes a huge difference. We obviously now see the
opposite of what happened in the past: multi-threaded
applications seldom crashed on single core machines
but often on multi-core ones due to missing
synchronization. Most people today develop on SMP
machines where the background threads have a
reasonable chance to finish their jobs just quickly
enough. So, controlled tear-down seems to be the
most common issue today.
