I think that "someone says the fix is not correct" or "you
say the tests are wrong" is needed before you vote -1.

I'm sorry but I don't have time to look into the problem
now. There are a code that reproduces the problem and a
patch that fixes (or hides) the problem. It seems that
someone can look into the problem.

(My expectation WITHOUT foundation: I think that
svn_txdelta_send_stream() destroys passed pool
somewhere. The passed pool is not top-level pool
(svn_pool_create(parent_pool)) normally but it may be
top-level pool (svn_pool_create(NULL)) in the Ruby bindings
test. The difference may cause the problem.)

Thanks,
