Thanks for that one! The reason for the crash is that the API function
localtime doesn't return valid data, which (according to the docs) only
can happen if the API 'time' returns a time/date before 1.jan.70.
So you should check the time on that computer where TSVN crashes.

As a workaround, use the registry editor to create the following DWORD
value:
HKCU\\Software\\TortoiseSVN\\CheckNewer
and set this value to 0.

I've added a check to avoid such a crash in the future in revision 3619.
