Well, yah. That is an entirely different situation. We're talking about
functions being passed bad parameters. If the system gets bad *data* from
somewhere, then yup: we should gracefully error.

Thus, the ### comments in that parsing code. But that is about the parsing
out of the data. If we pass NULL to svn_string_FOO, then those ought
segfault before you can say "who's your daddy!?!"
