random test failures in rc9 with the servers file

When running (parallel) tests on rc9, I'm getting very sporadic failures like:

subversion/libsvn_subr/config_file.c:460: (apr_err=200002)
svn: /home/glasser/Scratch/sign-svn/subversion-1.5.0-rc9-gz/subversion/tests/cmdline/svn-test-work/local_tmp/config/servers:1:
Section header expected

(over both RA types, various FS types, etc)  Usually about one failure
per test run.

Could this be related to r31051?  And is anyone else seeing this?

For valgrind to actually do something useful with Subversion you have to 
compile APR with pool debugging enabled, so that pool allocation calls 
are converted to malloc's -- valgrind otherwise can't make sense of the 
pool allocators.

I remembered yesterday valgrind, a simple to use memory checker and
started the subversion client under it (manual interactions). Maybe it
would be an option to start also the tests with valgrind?

It may be slow but it normally detects many errors.

I was really disappointed as I didn't noticed any error with it :-)

Er, ignore the bit about r31051 because it isn't in 1.5.x.  But the
issue still exists.
