The crash happens in the berkeley db dlls. We can't do anything about
this, sorry.
But: I'm guessing since TSVN uses the berkeley dbs that you're trying to
access a local berkeley db repository via file:///. This only works if
you created that repository with an x64 version of an svn client.
And berkeley db repos are *not* compatible between OS and x64/win32
clients! That's why you always get a crash as soon as you try to access
the repository with TSVN x64.

You have the following options:
* convert the repository to use the FSFS backend instead of the berkeley
db. I still wouldn't recommend that, because I can't guarantee that it's
fully compatible between x64 and win32 either.
* install svnserve or apache to host your repository and access it
through svn/http/http instead of file:///
