Subversion 1.5 over serf has a known issue that shows up often with
merge or merge-related actions. The issue results in an abort in the
serf bucket allocator (double freeing of memory).

As fixing the issue required a new feature in serf (released in version
0.3), the fix could only be included in subversion 1.6.
