I've been debugging this and narrowed it down quite a bit. I'm
puzzled how it works on other OS' at all, though, so I think I'm
mis-understanding something.

In libsvn_fs_base\bdb\env.c the bdb_init_cb function allocates the bdb
cache stuff in the global pool (I think?) and registers a cleanup
callback to clear_cache.

Then in final process termination (after unloading modules) when
Apache cleans out the global pool
(apr\memory\unix\apr_pools.c:apr_pool_terminate), it tries to call the
clear_cache function -- but it's already been unloaded by then and so
goes boom.

Am I mis-understanding the sequence of things or does it work
differently on unixy OS'?

The crash goes away if I comment out the clear_cache cleanup registration.
