Yeah, I saw that... it was bugging me that the there was a potential for a
memory leak. :-) I looked at your other patch, and it seemed to address the
problems just fine. +1 by me.

That is why I haven't done much with that yet. I was trying to think ahead a
little and was thinking about the fact that maybe semantics would change a
little. Like reads of the entries might actually take out a lock. In that
case, it wouldn't be removed, causing the user to have to do an 'svn cleanup'
if we didn't have svn_wc_adm_close() in the error path. I'm probably just
being paranoid though. :-)

Interesting that this caused other errors. I'm curious to know what you
find! :-)
