This change is wrong, please revert it. I agree the code needs to check
for the null return, however, replacing the current mode with an abort
is not "marginally better", it's completely wrong. I seem to recall
we've been through this before, we avoid using the svn_pool APIs there
on purpose.

Not to mention that your change breaks the cxxhl build.
