RE: Memory leak in svn propget -R ?

Hi Hyrum!

Thanks for your help. I did more tests and it's clear that the problem
is NOT with svn. I think it's related to some bugged configuration in
mod_dav or Apache. When I run svn using the file protocol there is no
crash:

svn propget -R svn:externals --username myuser --password XXXX
file:///svn/myrepos > myrepos.txt

I'll do more research to understand what's happening.

Regards,

Eduardo Nascimento

I can't reproduce this on both the latest 1.5.x sources or trunk. Also,
the
revision specified in that thread have been merged to 1.5.x, and should
have
been included in a 1.5.x release some time ago. I'm running against the
Subversion repository at svn.collab.net.

Can anybody else reproduce Eduardo's error?
