After Subversion gets the segmentation fault, you should get another
(gdb) prompt. Type 'where', and GDB will show you the series of calls
that led to the call to 'strlen' that crashed.

But really, what you need to do is provide us with enough information
to make the problem happen ourselves, on our own machine. If you can
do this, we can definitely fix the bug; if you can't, then we probably
can't fix it.

So: what version of Subversion are you using? Can you make the
problem happen with a fresh repository, created with 'svnadmin create'
and accessed with a 'file://' URL?
