segmentation fault running svnadmin create

I donwloaded and installed subversion. But trying to create a new 
repository fails and I get segmentation fault. Any ideas?

The seg fault occurs in apr_pools.c line 605, in function apr_palloc. It 
seems the pool variable passed to it has value 0x3. The chain of calls 
leading to apr_palloc starts in main.c in the function 
parse_local_repos_path, line 114, when calling svn_utf_cstring_to_utf8.

Please do (off-list, of course).

The latest released version 1.1.0

I downloaded the source, built and installed it. I only needed a minimum 
set of flags to pass to the configure script: I pointed to where the 
berkely db files were and where subversion should be installed. (I 
installed berkeley db version 4.2.52 before installing subversion)

Red Hat Linux release 9 (Shrike), kernel 2.4.26wsx86.

Yes, it is reproducible and yes I do have a core dump. Should I send the 
dump to you? The file is 640K in size. To reproduce the crash I only 
need to do 'svnadmin create some-string'.

More details are needed.

What version of Subversion?

When you say 'downloaded and installed', did you build Subversion from
source, or install an existing binary package?

What platform and distribution are you using?

What was the exact invocation that caused the crash?  Is it
reproducible?  Can you make a core dump available?
