Hmm... I basically rewrote that part, so, I believe it's my fault...
Yes, you're right, without the default error handlers, the baby exits (but
this is not a problem in Apache 2.0 as DSO modules are required to be there
at startup, but your point is right, if we don't have to terminate the
process, we'd better not to...
Now, the question is _why_ that thing is called and why libsvn_ra_local.so
does not exist (if shared is disabled, it should be compiled in, right?)...
You'd have to compile that library as a MH_BUNDLE, and it should go away...
