   So I went into the server and tried to run svnadmin verify repo and
   it goes through and then does one of those:
   ...
   * Verified revision 371.
   * Verified revision 372.
   * Verified revision 373.
   * Verified revision 374.
   * Verified revision 375.
   Segmentation fault
   ...
   We're running FSFS not BDB.
   ...

BR, Jani
