Subversion 1.4 does not register ne_oom_callback

Hi,

I ran into what appears to be an out of memory condition running 'svn commit'.
The process terminates with an abort and no message. I believe that's because
Subversion 1.4 does not register a callback with the neon library.

Using gdb to look at the core dump, the abort happened in ne_calloc. The
neon library I'm using (0.25) uses a DO_MALLOC macro that compares the returned
pointer to zero and, if it is zero, calls the registered callback (if any)
and calls abort(3). Scanning the svn sources with cscope for ni_oom_callback()
turns up no references.

IMO this is a bug. Subversion should report OOM conditions, and not let the
neon library simply abort the process.

I'm not subscribed to this list. If you would like me to read any reponses,
please cc me. Thank you.
