It hasn't really stopped. Subversion has a performance problem after an
update when it 'flushes' all the information back to the working copy.
It's fixed in the Subversion trunk (fixed means here it's much, much
faster now).

By using the window-close-cross, you forced TSVN to close, which means
it had to kill the thread which wasn't finished yet. It's a forced close
of the thread, the thread doesn't have a chance to cleanly finish.
That's why you sometimes get a crash then.

Vista has some new API's to close all handles of a certain thread. I've
already planned to use those in such cases to get the thread a chance to
clean up first.
