It is a fault condition, to be sure, but the words "OK" usually mean
everything is "OK". It doesn't sound menacing.

Double clicking on the "REPORT of" message does not clear it. I tried
clicking it as fast as I could and it would not clear. If it is intended
to be cleared by double clicking, then there should be a message saying
"double click this to clear it".

Interestingly enough, I can right click (blindly on the white area where
the log message should be) and do "copy to clipboard" and then paste
that information into a text file and read it. That's not really
productive though. :)

It's possible that the log messages are malformed. This repository has
evolved from CVS, and the guys that did the import into SVN must not
have sanitized the log messages.

It's hard to find the log message that is corrupt if you can't even view
the log messages though!
