If you have to go as far as implementing your own isAdminDirectoryName
then that would suggest threading is totally broken, and that it's not
just an initialisation problem. Given that you now have a thread-safe
call to JNIInit (the first getAdminDirectoryName call) does your code
work if you continue to make that call but stop using your own
isAdminDirectoryName?

If that works the next step is to replace the first, thread-safe, call
to getAdminDirectoryName with some other function that calls JNIInit,
say 'singleStatus("fake", false)'. If that works it indicates that
the problem is not the SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK code itself, but that it's
an initialisation problem that happens to be triggered by the way you
are using the SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK code.
