I had an extremely similar problem back on July 19. If I remember
correctly, it happened when I ran svn checkout in a cron job, but with
an incorrect username/password. I vaguely remember discussing the
problem in IRC with Ben Reser (I think). Looking through the email
archives, I can't find any messages about it, though. We decided not to
file an issue for the problem at that time, but I don't remember why.
Maybe it's an APR problem, not a Subversion problem?
I have a GDB backtrace from back then, which would have been 1.0.5. It
may still be relevant, maybe not. I'm attaching it to this message so
it can be archived. Please forgive me if this is not useful.
