Error while diffing from log window after locking screen

Hi,

I just received this error:

---------------------------
Subversion Exception!
---------------------------
Subversion encountered a serious problem.
Please take the time to report this on the Subversion mailing list
with as much information as possible about what
you were trying to do.
But please first search the mailing list archives for the error message
to avoid reporting the same problem repeatedly.
You can find the mailing list archives at

Subversion reported the following
(you can copy the content of this dialog
to the clipboard using Ctrl-C):

In file
  'D:\Development\SVN\Releases\TortoiseSVN-1.8.7\ext\subversion\subversion\libsvn_wc\wc_db.c'
  line 8713: assertion failed (svn_dirent_is_absolute(local_abspath))
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

OS:
Windows 7 Professional (64bit), Service Pack 1, with all Windows updates

What I did:

- Brought up a log window for a folder, has a few hundred revisions showing.
- (was using it for some period for diffs etc)
- Shut down the SSH tunnel that SVN was connecting over
- Locked the screen for the computer
- Came back 10 hours later (overnight)
- Un-locked the screen for the computer
- Re-opened an SSH tunnel for SVN to connect over
- Tried to get a diff ('Show Changes') for a file in the history window
- Further attempts to get diffs worked without a crash

Hope it helps!

Cheers,
Sam
