httpd segfault? Bad bad bad.

Look in subversion's HACKING file about how to debug apache.

Basically, load the httpd process into gdb, and then 'run -X' to make
the program run as a single process... no threading or forking.
(Warning: it's very slow in this mode) Point your svn client at it,
and then see where it blows up when it segfaults.

Of course, it helps if you've built apache with
--enable-maintainer-mode. That's the switch that gives you debugging
symbols.
