yes - but there is something about the MacPorts build that is causing this (I maintain the macports 'port' of subversion and language bindings).

MacPorts builds the command line binary + libraries which install and run fine (like that have since pre 1.0). I can run the test suite (make check) from within MacPorts and it works.

MacPorts builds the javahl bindings (libsvnjavahl-1.dylib, svn-javahl.jar and their various symlinks) separately. It used to be able to run and pass passes its test suite (make check-javahl).

I upgraded my main machine to Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10) and installed java 1.8.0_25 and now while the MacPorts build looks like it works, the test suite fails (and people who use the bindings with eclipse have said that it crashes).

If I build outside of MacPorts it works for me, which is odd. The MacPorts build uses a non-privildeged user and does some environment sanitization, but not anything crazy. I'll do some more looking to see if I can figure out what may be causing it - but it's very strange.

make check-javahl sets DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH so the libraries from the build take precedence over any others. I'll check to see which library(s) are getting loaded at runtime both from the MacPorts build and my non-MacPorts build and see if there's anything there. Thanks for giving me some place to start...
