Ok, but is it absolutely 100% required that any multithreaded code
that uses any part of JavaHL go through the SVNClientSynchronized
class? If so, that will prevent this problem, but if not it can still
occur.

If that is the case, btw, it seems rather odd to me. Why can't there
be multiple instances of SVNClient doing totally unrelated things at
the same time? There doesn't seem to be any fundamental reason that
they should be using any shared state.
