How could the release notes for 0.9.37 tell you that a future version of
Subversion that did not exist at that time was going to cause it to crash?
 

Why would you happily upgrade Subversion binaries to a new release, but be
concerned about updating Subclipse to the equivalent new release that goes
with those binaries? Especially when that Subclipse release is a 1.0
Release Candidate and represents a vast improvement over that version?

Finally, it is JavaHL that is crashing, not Subclipse. Your request
should be to the Subversion developers about whether they want to consider
allowing older versions of their svnjavahl.jar work with newer versions of
the libraries. I suspect that they consider them a matched set.
