Committed a fix in r34963.

There are a lot of assert() calls left. I'm not sure whether it is safe
to change all of them to SVN_ERR_ASSERT_NO_RETURN - that macro calls
abort() after calling the custom handler. A simple assert() would do
nothing in a release build, so changing all those to abort() doesn't
seem like a good idea.
I suggest changing those one by one, by those who are familiar with the
code part (there are a lot in the fs_ libs, and I'm not comfortable
changing those because that could lead to aborting a server).
