I have also seen this problem. Apache 2.0.x includes APR_ICONV 0.9.x
and Apache 2.2.x includes APR_ICONV 1.1.x. The two are not binary
compatible so you get a crash if a client compiled against one loads
the other. In theory, you can get around this by doing the following:

Create envvar APR_ICONV_PATH and point it to the 0.9.x version.
Create envvar APR_ICONV1_PATH and point it to the 1.1.x version.

As long as the Subversion you are using loads the right apr_iconv.dll
it should look at the right environment variable to find the
translation DLL's.

Please let me know if this works.
