It turns out that it's not a crash. It also turns out that it's not new.
The test hangs deep in BDB within cleanup-fs during the destruction of
the top-level pool; but not always. The following script consistently
reproduces this for me on trunk:

cd $(builddir)/subversion/tests/cmdline
while ../libsvn_ra/ra-test --fs-type=bdb; do echo '-----'; done

It usually takes a few iterations, but it will fail eventually during
cleanup for test #3. It's specific to BDB, and it could be specific to OSX.

I verified that this is not new by building a version of trunk from
three months ago; same issue. I'm just surprised we haven't seen it
before (hence the suspicion that it's OSX-only).
