I converted the reproduction script to a Bourne shell script, attached,
and it shows the problem on my GNU/Linux system.

So the problem is in (#3) resolve_relative_external_url() which passes
the "path" field from apr_uri_parse(), which may be null, to
svn_path_decompose() which requires a non-null path string. There are
two branches of the code (if ... else ...) that both potentially do
this.

Sounds like a bite-sized fix. Anyone fancy taking this one?

I'll take a look at that one, it's probably my code.
