Seems the problem is in the neon library then.
The serf library is still in beta, and unfortunately that code has
*lots* of abort() calls in it instead of returning an error :(
If you can reproduce a crash, please report those on the Subversion
mailing list: serf is supposed to replace neon in the next Subversion
release and the more bugs they can fix now the better.

I don't think so: we don't start new threads inside a dll at all. That's
what you learn to avoid when you program on Windows :)
