Stefan, that comment was added based on a report from Blair, based on
a root cause analysis from Peter Lundblad:

http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsForumId=462&dsMessageId=675612
http://subversion.tigris.org/ds/viewMessage.do?dsMessageId=675616&dsForumId=462

The original report doesn't include the level of detail you want.

Have you checked what SVN_KEYWORD_MAX_LEN is #define'd to across your
builds on those platforms? If nothing looks suspect, try strace'ing
the load operation highlighted above.
