perl bindings: SVN::Client::status provokes assertion failure

Debian Linux "testing"
subversion 1.0.2 (checked out from http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.0.2)
built with `configure -C --prefix=/usr/local/stow/svn-1.0.2 && make && make test && make install'
perl bindings built as described in subversion/bindings/swig/INSTALL
libapr0 Version: 2.0.49-1
libdb4.2-dev Version: 4.2.52-16

just type `perl kaboom.pl'. You'll see

        perl: subversion/libsvn_subr/path.c:156: svn_path_join: Assertion `is_canonical (base, blen)' failed.

And now for the uninformed speculation: the perl binding doesn't call
apr_filepath_merge, whereas when one invokes the command-line as `svn
st .', that function does get called. That function translates the
"." into the empty string, which apparently is what svn_client_status
wants.
