I have been experiencing a similar problem with the svn client allocating
all available memory and getting killed while attempting a large merge:

  20781 mj 18 0 2301m 373m 2604 R 16.5 74.0 5:00.87 svn

Note that that is indeed 2.3 GB of memory!

I haven't been able to try the patch yet, but I did put together a test
repository which can be used to reproduce the problem with any svn client:

  svn checkout https://svn.doze.net/memleak/trunk
  cd trunk
  svn merge https://svn.doze.net/memleak/vendor/v1 \
    https://svn.doze.net/memleak/vendor/v2

I'm using the Debian (sarge) svn package:

  svn, version 1.1.4 (r13838)
     compiled May 13 2005, 06:29:47

Please let me know if you need any other information. Thanks.
