So I built gcc-3.4.2, built Subversion from then new gcc, and then ran the
testsuite... no failures. Looking at this backtrace, I see two things
that concern me though. The first is that the report baton pointer is
corrupted on the way into update_entry(). How that happened, I'm not
sure. I don't see anything that would have led to that. There are no
stack buffers to overrun, or anything like that. The second problem is
the start_empty parameter to delta_dirs(). That parameter actually comes
from the path_info_t structure, and gets its value as a result of a
boolean expression (i.e., (a == b)). In C99 (and I believe C89, as
well), these expressions evaluate to either 1 or 0. 136833088 is
obviously not 1 or 0. :-)
I don't know if it's possible, but can you try a couple of things. Can
you try a clean installation of Subversion? I mean wipe out any old
libraries that you might have (libsvn_*), etc., and then re-install it.
If you feel brave, can you run the testsuite? In particular, if you can
run subversion/tests/clients/cmdline/davautocheck.sh, then we can see if
you're still getting failures. This is definitely a bizarre problem.
Thanks Kiyo!
