This isn't going to help when the baton that is passed (by pointer) to the callbacks is also allocated on the stack.
(The baton should probably move to heap as well if this is the right fix)

The function seems to assume that this callback infrastructure isn't used after returning from svn_ra_svn__do_cyrus_auth(), which would make allocating on the stack safe.
Any idea why this worked for years in 1.6 but now starts failing?
