I spent several hours on this subversion problem this weekend. The problem
has changed a little bit, the segmentation fault is gone after recompiling
and reinstalling subversion.
But still it isn't working.
When we execute the following commands, we get these strange messages:

First, the locale is set to en_US (which is default):

root@smith:~# svnlook diff /data/svn/newrepos2 -r 1
svnlook: Can't open directory
'/tmp/svnlook.50/P 2 `T'
       ¨': No such file or directory
root@smith:~# PuTTYPuTTYPuTTYPuTTY
-bash: PuTTYPuTTYPuTTYPuTTY: command not found

-> Strange, after executing the command, it puts Putty.... on a new line and
tries to execute it (I'm accessing the server via Putty, which shouldn't be
a problem). Anyway, svnlook outputs very strange characters!

Maybe, if I set the locale to C?

root@smith:~# export LC_ALL="C"
root@smith:~# svnlook diff /data/svn/newrepos2 -r 1
svnlook: Can't convert string from native encoding to
'UTF-8': ?\176?\1?\136?\141
root@smith:~# PuTTYPuTTYPuTTYPuTTY
-bash: PuTTYPuTTYPuTTYPuTTY: command not found

-> Now there's another error message, but still the strange PuTTYPu...
sequence.

Finally, we try to set the locale to utf8:

root@smith:~# export LC_ALL="en_US.utf8"
root@smith:~# svnlook diff /data/svn/newrepos2 -r 1
svnlook: Valid UTF-8 data
(hex:)
followed by invalid UTF-8 sequence
(hex: c0 74 06 08)

The PuTTYPuTTY sequence is gone, but still nothing's working.

What can I do?
