I was wrong there. Going back through the lsof output, it consistently gets
to log.0000000094, then spends a long time with just the files above (or a
subset) open, before hitting a segmentation fault.

I built 0.16.1 this afternoon and the behaviour of svnadmin is identical,
and repeatable; always to log.0000000094.

Anyone with an idea of what could be going on? Next step? (other than a
debug build and running it in gdb, which I'll do next)
