Ofcourse we tried to reproduce this behaviour (wanting to rule out the
pools bug). I failed, Justin succeeded.
Justin encountered an interesting comment during investigation:
# log_tests.py: testing "svn log"
#
# ######################################################################
# ### ###
# ### YO! THIS FILE DOESN'T WORK YET. DON'T TRY TO RUN IT. THIS ###
# ### ISN'T A PROBLEM BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T ADDED IT TO THE TESTS LIST ###
# ### IN BUILD.CONF YET. ###
# ### ###
# ######################################################################
This probably is an out of date comment. If not, the
test slipped in unintentionally.
Anyhow, I updated to the latest APR and Subversion, autogen, configure,
make, make check and everything SUCCEEDs. The only significant difference
between Justins and my reproduction effort is that he has two copies of
subversion on his machine; the new source one and an old installed one
(different --prefix location). My machine only has _one_ copy of subversion.
I'm working on the pools debug version, so that efence will actually be
usefull. I'm a bit swamped till wednesday, but will try to get something
in soon.
