Philip, please could you also run in valgring the "test_info.rb" test
file, because it is in that file that the two errors occurred that were
previously reported (on two different machine architectures), and I
don't think we did anything in particular to fix them.

I tried this just now, and don't see any output specific to that
"test_info(SvnInfoTest)" test.

I compile Subversion with "-DAPR_POOL_DEBUG", but I recall that may not
be as good as it would be if I also compiled APR the same way.

Peter Samuelson said on IRC just now:

"julianf: you're correct that the failures I reported were on
kfreebsd-i386 and sparc, but I've also seen them in older Debian build
daemon logs for other architectures. I believe I've seen one or both on
powerpc, armel (little-endian arm), alpha. it is too bad I can't get
anyone to reliably reproduce them on non-automated builds.
<peterS> one of joeswatosh's recent comments makes me wonder if these
failures would come forward more readily with, for example, apr pool
debugging"
