Well, these crashes are not supposed to happen at all.

As an API user you're supposed to run your URL input through
svn_uri_canonicalize(). Else you'll get undefined behaviour,
which allows SVN to abort() or do anything else it wants.
Apart from forcing API users to provide sane input we also use
this to find bugs in SVN's own code.
