svn:externals bug?

On IRC, Brandon Ehle <azverkan@yahoo.com> seems to have found an
svn:externals bug, and I can reproduce it.

Anyone want to try reproducing or analyzing? Or should I just file it
straight away?

Here's the recipe:

1. checkout a working copy
2. make a local propchange on a subdir of the working copy:
     create an 'svn:externals' property, and set the value
     to something like "new-dir http://some/other/location/in/same/repos"
3. cd into the subdir
4. svn up

On Brandon's system, his RAM spins out of control before the OS kills
the process. On my system, I get 10 seconds of pause, then a
segfault. Neither of us sees the checkout happening.

However, if you omit step #3, and update from the *root* of the wc,
then a checkout of new-dir happens just fine, as you would expect. No
problems.
