I don't use WinDbg that often. But I guess that the abort() call works
against this goal since it aborts the whole process.

Can you maybe try a nightly build? Maybe the crash is already fixed. But
if not: in 1.6, Subversion finally got rid of abort() and exit() calls
and replaced them with a custom exception handler. TSVN in this case
shows an error dialog with the source code location where the problem
originated and any info it gets from that exception. Which would make
this a little bit more suitable to find the problem.
