It's the bdmpega64, yes:
http://code.google.com/p/tortoisesvn/issues/detail?id=524

I've received several crash reports for this already, so no need for you
to send me a crash dump.

The problem is that the dll does not unload cleanly. When the dll gets
unloaded (which Windows does when a process exits), it crashes.

But since the crash happens inside that dll and the bug is also in that
dll, there's nothing I can do in TSVN to prevent that crash.
