This seems such an edge case, are there any normal or regular conditions in

which this corruption can occur? Will it *only* happen if the revision you

are commiting to is corrupt? could it happen for regular source (text files)

Reason I ask is that a quick trawl shows that subversion possibly defends

against these earlier version of APR

Do you understand why the corruption is occurring ?
