I'm using Subversion r4816

$ svnadmin create repo
$ valgrind -q svnadmin dump repo > zz

* Dumped revision 0.

Which implies two things: first the +1 is indeed wrong, and second you
are not setting the correct flags to use the local stack based buffer
in svn_fs__bdb_get_uuid. You need to specify DB_DBT_USERMEM and set
ulen. Why use stack memory at all? If you use pool memory directly,
then you don't need to copy it.
