Do a checkout or command using a SVN client that does not have deflate
support. For example, the TortoiseSVN 1.5.x clients. As soon as you
do this, your server will probably crash.
When the SVN clients have deflate support it all works great. The bug
happens when a client without support hits the server. This could
also include command line tools like wget.
